I had my car serviced for it's 10k/1yr when the indicator came up, last month (only 7k mi, and 6 mth into lease (, and got a video of the inspection and report of the car.)
They mentioned tire life: 7/11fr, 8/11rr;
And
Brake pads: 11/20mm fr, 8/16mm rr
(provided the max number I located online was in fact for the PP brake was correct, which I have on my car.
They stated this was "very good".....
I read at 2mm brakes and tires are both toast. So considering that, being only at 8k miles now, that I'll need tires soon and my brake power should fade.....how could I be at the wear i am for tires and brakes.....
I checked alot of sources and 6 different tests of this car show 159-164 consistent 70-0 at between 1k-4k miles, and 161-166 on the 41k test. Original clutch and pads. Same tires for each test, Potenza s0001s, and I have Re97 a/s, but that's the only issue with the comparison.
So if the pads are original, how can I have half the total mm of brake pad life left, but the car report numbers that are the same as when out of the box?
