At what thickness should brake rotors be replaced?
Disc brake rotors usually last so long that many people treat them as 'fit and forget' components. However, manufacturers provide minimum thicknesses for their rotors. Shimano recommends that its rotors, which start out 1.8mm thick, should be replaced when the braking surface has been reduced to 1.5mm.Mar 12, 2019
When should I replace my rotors?
They should be replaced about every 70,000 miles on most vehicles. Of course, this may vary depending on your style of driving, the weight of your vehicle, the quality of the braking components, and the use of your vehicle. Just like brake pads, brake rotors should be replaced in pairs for even stopping performance.Jun 5, 2019

An air braked commercial motor vehicle shall not be operated with brake lining/pad thickness less than 6.4 mm (1⁄4 inch) or to the wear indicator if the lining is so marked (measured at the shoe center for drum brakes); or less than 3.2 mm (1⁄8 inch) for disc brakes.Nov 12, 2008

How thick does a rotor have to be to turn?
You want to use a micro measuring caliper to determine your brake rotor thickness. For example, a new brake rotor with a thickness of 10mm is required to be replaced or turned at 9mm, meaning that your naked eye has to detect 1mm of rotor wear.
