If they get too thin, it can take longer to stop and may even damage other parts of the brake system. It’s a good idea to have them checked regularly and replaced when needed brake pads replacement, usually between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Doing this helps prevent bigger problems and keeps your braking smooth and reliable.
