Default What metric do you use to estimate remaining brake pad life on a typical economy sedan?

That's like saying there's no average lifespan for a person or vehicle.
o It's a copout (in my humble opinion).

Yes, there _is_ a rule of thumb.
o For example, no front disc pads last the life of the vehicle.

And as another example, no pads likely last only 10,000 miles either.

There's an AVERAGE.
o That's what I seek.
