rear brakes - how many miles before replacing
2016 rdx awd and awp , 40,500 mi, rear brakes, down to metal on one pad, other pad still has life.
also need tires soon, michelins have 5k left on them. I also use snow tires/wheels for 4 months a year, so maybe 30k on OEM michelins.
looking at Conti cross contact 25 (new model replacing the 20). , 70k mi warranty.

replace them when they're worn.

dont go by miles...use visual intelligence...
if one is down to the metal, that would indicate a stuck or sticking caliper...use your eyes to determine what is happening, visual intelligence..
same thing with tires...if worn, replace.

Good to know. I haven't done brakes yet at 46,300 miles. Just replaced the tires with the same thing that was on it - Michelin MXM4's. The old ones probably had 5,000 left on them, but I've got a lot of driving to do in the next month.

I used Bosch BC1625 QuietCast Premium pads for the front and Bosch 26011548 QuietCast Premium Disc Brake Rotors. I like Bosch rotors because they're zinc plated...so the hats don't rust. I've also had great service with Centric rotors with powder-coated hats and Raybestos Professional Grade Ceramic Disc Brake Pads.
Good luck.
