Under normal driving conditions, rotors should last 30,000 to 70,000 miles or longer. But rotor type or design, along with city or aggressive driving (where brakes are applied harder and more often, generating excessive heat), cause rotors to wear differently.2 jun 2020
Are some brake rotors better than others?
The better the metallurgy in the rotor, the better it will perform on the vehicle. ... An economy rotor may appear to be nearly identical to a premium-quality rotor, but the metallurgy is often far different. There are many different grades of cast iron, and some make much better brake rotors than others.
Are drilled and slotted brake rotors better?
Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving. This is why high end BMW, Porsche, Corvette, and Mercedes rotors are drilled, not slotted. However, for track racing (high speed stops), slotted rotors are the better choice.
Are ceramic brake rotors better?
Ceramic brake pads typically last longer than semi-metallic brake pads, and through their lifespan, provide better noise control and less wear-and-tear to rotors, without sacrificing braking performance.9 oct 2020
Are premium rotors worth it?
Premium pads can have an increase in stopping power and a decrease in brake fade. ... Some drivers may be able to notice a better “brake feel” when using high-end pads and rotors as the braking experience may seem smoother and more precise.23 ene 2019
