How many miles?

How many miles did you get out of your stock tires?

How many miles before you needed brake pads?

99TL - First set of tires replaced at 62k
Still running original brake pads now at 78k. I am getting the wobble from the rotors so when I take the car to the dealer to have the T-Belt replaced at 90k I will have them machine the rotors and replace the pads.

Stock tires 40k. Only because I got a blow out, and I did'nt want to replace with the same size. So I bought some 18's.

As for brakes, stk pads.

TypeSDragon - man, 20K and 14K miles- you weren't satisfied with the performance, Or you somehow wore them out fast?

I am really dissatisfied with the quality of what Acura has to offer. After 15k miles on the stock tires I was holding on my life when driving in the rain. And at 14k miles my rotors were warped and again at 28k miles. Even though the service was under warranty, I would've thought it will last longer. I don't push the car hard or brake, just normal daily driving. Once in a while, maybe I race a little. I drive to work 24 miles round trip everyday and on the weekends maybe a little more.
