Disk Brake Pads

How long will a set go before needing changed? Ballpark figure..bought a 1999 with 48,000. Is it possible they are the original pads?

My OE front pads lasted me 92k mi.

It makes a difference if you drive a lot of highway miles, or mostly in town miles.

OE pads got changed out at 45k w/ Raybestos Silver. Just replaced them today. They were not worn out but my rotors had warped. The best thing about the Raybestos??? Walked out of Advance with brand new pads w/o paying a penny!

Let me tell a little bit more about mine;at 64k miles Ford replaced OE pads and the OE rotors did not need turning.At 80k miles I replaced the OE rear shoes,hardware,and turned the drums.Went back with all Wagner parts.At 100k miles,two weeks ago,I replaced the front pads,which still had a safe 10k miles left on them,and went back with Wagner pads.The OE rotors still did not need to be turned! My braking system works great!
