How many miles on original brake pads?

[MrMonte]

I'm at 114K miles on original pads & rotors on my 2018 Yukon Denali.

What are you guys doing to keep it this long? I go through tires and brake pads like candy. I'm talking yearly changes. Granted, I do drive a lot: 30k or so a year, and drive very spirited, I don't baby my truck, which is a 2019 Escalade ESV.

My tires were last changed in Sept. 2023, as were the brake pads and rotors. All tires were almost bald by Sept. 2024, as were the brake pads, which to my surprise the fronts were worn down to almost bare metal. I just spent $3k on changing all pads and tires (not rotors, those I'm saving for the big brake upgrade).

Bought used 2021 Yukon Denali, 6.2L with 49K miles from Hertz - replaced front brakes at ~52K.

I'm now at 120K miles on original brakes but have the 16" front rotors with 6 piston Brembo calipers and 4 piston Brembo rear calipers just waiting to be installed.

I do get to speed quickly and tend to speed up thru the curves with good visibility but I let off the gas when I see a slowdown ahead and only use brakes when really needed.
