how many miles can you get on a set of brakes
Quick Answer. Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles although shorter and longer life spans exist. Semi-metallic brake pads typically have a life span of 30,000 to 50,000 miles. The life span of brake pads depends on the material used in the pad, whether the car has an automatic or manual transmission, and the driver's braking style.
