There are times to use brakes will cause a bigger problem.
I dont want them. I dont care what the engineers think they can do or not.
I have had so many hard braking times in both personal cars and 18 wheelers where necessary that I cannot trust that :: to a computer. No way. I do love my ABS. I'll work with a awesome ABS any day. (And have...)
Living in the east brake pads were common shop work. But here in the south its rare that we deal with brakes. Usually once a decades a rotor set will be turned or replaced and the pads generally last the life of the car with very occasional replacements. We probably replaced one set already in 25 years across about 7 total cars. All the rest still had the pads that they came with when we disposed of them.
The last OTR Tractor trailer wife and I had together we put about 221,000 on it that year on original brakes, they were about 60% to the good from brand new in just under a year. I think that was pretty darn good considering.
