How many brake pads per tire?

[AlexFitz]

Each tire requires 2 brake pads, meaning a total of 8 brake pads are needed per vehicle. Below are the replacement criteria for brake pads: 1. Mileage: Under normal driving conditions, front brake pads should be replaced approximately every 30,000-50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-100,000 kilometers. Once severe wear is detected, immediate replacement is necessary. 2. Wear level: Typically, new brake pads are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If the wear reaches one-third of the original thickness (less than 5 millimeters), it is recommended to replace them promptly. If a metallic scraping sound is heard during braking, this may indicate that the brake pads have worn down to their minimum thickness, causing the limit indicators on both sides of the pads to contact and scrape against the brake disc, producing unusual noises—this requires immediate replacement. If you notice that the brake pedal feels lighter than usual, or if braking becomes difficult or ineffective, it indicates severe wear and insufficient thickness of the brake pads, necessitating prompt replacement.
