I have about 26,500 miles on my 08 TypeS. Just hit 20% oil life so will be heading in for that service soon, and my brakes are starting to squeak fairly constantly.

That said, I am fully expecting brakes to be part of the next service and it got me thinking, when should I expect to replace the stock tires?

 

There is usually wear bars in the tires ... when the tread gets to that level.

 

Got it. Thanks! Plenty left, so I am good in that regard. Worried about the brakes though.

 

RIDE TIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF!!!! oh wait, that is from biker boys I think... LOL

 

Wow, only 26,500 on your brakes and they are ready for replacement? Do you drive your TL hard? I imagine you have a manual.. right?

Not busting your chopes, but I replaced my stock OEM pads on my '04 manual at around 25,500 miles not because they needed to be replaced but because I hated all of the dusting. I still have those OEM pads in my garage and they have perhaps around 35-40,000 miles left in them. A next door neighbor just passed 80,000 miles on his '05 manual and he still has his stock OEM pad.. but they're getting close.

 

Southern Boy, I think I would rather have both. 1st- my Model 30 Glock. 2nd-cell phone so I can call the police to let them know the sorry SOB, just gave his life for justice!

 

from what I gather, the stock TL-S (brembo) pads don't last as long as the stock TL pads... is this not the case?

 

 

Base MT and type-s both have the same brembo brakes

 

Used to get 40 - 45k on my Accord Michelins ...... don't expect my TL to do much less tho it is driven some harder and came with Bridgestones
