Short brake life on 2013 Sub
#12
I am replacing mine, my habits seem to warp rotors......I have no idea what I am doing that causes this. I have studied my habits and asked my family and friends.
I have always replaced rotors with slotted and drilled.

Rapid heating and cooling causes warping. Stay away from those puddles.
My Impala tended to warp rotors, but I also drove that car hard. Happened three times over 100k miles.

I remember driving to Florida from NY on 95 in my 2001 Suburban coming down a long steep hill some traffic and a big puddle at the bottom. Rotors were done after that Bad vibration from that point on

The rear brakes on my 2012 Suburban didn't need changing till I got to about 55k miles. I changed them a second time while doing the front brakes for the first time at 100k miles. Not sure why the rear brakes wear so much faster than the front, and the inner pads (those in contact with the piston) wear much faster on the outer pads, especially in the front.

Is that mostly highway mileage? That's pretty good. My fronts had some life left at 34k but rears were done. Either the prior owner drove really hard on the brakes or GM went with cheaper pads in 2013. I'm happy wither he Duralast,Gold,Cmax pads so far. No noise and they feel,good

the rear brakes get all the throw off from the front wheels and crud up; will not slide proper as was mentioned. the inner rotor surface is always the first side of the rotor to rust, groove and pit which wears the pads more.
people who do yearly brake service (clean and lubricate the caliper pins and brackets) do not have this problem.

My OEM tires had to be replaced at 34,000 miles. My wife's Sequoia tires are half gone at 7,500 miles. Apparently new car tires are crap.

OEMs do not purchase any tire warranty. So it's the same tire, but no warranty...
If your asking if they do what some makers do and have a OEM specific tire, that's the 'same' tire, but comes off a different assembly line... well anything is possible.
