In Pennsylvania, the minimum thickness for brake pads to pass a state inspection is 2/32 of an inch. If the brake pads are worn down to this thickness or less, they must be replaced for the vehicle to pass inspection. Additionally, inspectors will check for any signs of uneven wear, damage, or contamination that could affect braking performance.

Varies with individual & driving habits. Ceramic are best. Most good brands should give you 60-70k miles. Just check periodically. Most fronts you can just stick your finger(s) thru the wheel & feel the pads.


If you just put on new brake pads can you do the rotors later?

You can if they are fairly smooth and do not have very bad ridges or grooves on them. If they do not meet the minimum thickness spec, they should be replaced now. Rotors are cheap (read: made in China); just replace them.


How often should brake rotors be replaced?

From a rotor spec sheet, find the minimum thickness, from there take about a micrometer and measure. If it is below the minimum then you need to change your brake rotors. Rotors do not generally need to be replaced unless there has been extensive damage to them from driving on extremely worn down break pads. If you waited too long to change your break pads then you may want to consider replacing them. If not, you don’t need to worry about it.
