How long should brakes last on ss ?
I bought my 2008 HHR SS used when it had 32,000 kms on it and have driven it another 36,000 kms and it needs brakes. I drove my last two vehicles, bought new, a 2000 Windstar and a 1991 tercel and went 400,000 kms on each and still didn't need their first brake job and I had them checked every 6 months. I drive highways about 90% of the time. Should I only expect these brakes to last under 70,000 kms? And do you know what was the original tires the 2008 came with? It had 225/45/18 Michelins on it, don't know if they were the original tires or not, but have to replace those now also and the dealer can only find Toyo Versado Eco tires that size in an all-season in the Edmonton area now. I hear there is a rubber shortage in the States. I'm not used to having to get new tires every year either.:happyfacerainbow:

That kinda depends how you drive my fronts were gone at 32k, but stopping from over 100 takes more brakes so I switched to Brembos at 67k. I haven't noticed a shortage of tires, worn out three sets. Try tire rack. Goodyear f1 as. Worked well up there. Have them shipped to the dealers address.

I think someone was being a little sarcastic with you and was referring to a different meaning of "rubber".:D

Noone was joking about the shortage of rubber, I heard it on the news and they were saying there was a tire shortage in the States right now.

You got about 43-44K miles out of your brakes. There is no tire shortage in the states. |
248,548 miles....... without any brake work?
