Default brake pads

What kind of life are you guys getting out of your front pads? Not that I'm complaining. I've got 65k on my truck, still original pads with combined city/hwy driving, on rare occasion loaded down. Could probably eek it out to 70k. Not bad at all as far as I'm concerned...

I just replaced my brakes a couple weeks ago. My front's were toast at 50k but the rears still had a decent amount of pad life left. I let it go a little too long so it chewed into one of the front rotors a little bit. I didn't want to bother with turning them so I just replaced both the fronts. For pads I used Raybestos Professional Grade from Checker. I am very impressed with them, they have great stopping power and are silent. They haven't been on long enough for me to know if they have any dusting problems.

Changed my fronts at 85,000 put on Super Duty pads I have had them on for 37,000 now and I can hardly see any wear, they aren't extremely quiet but they aren't loud enough to be concerned I can't complain my buddies have 01's like mine and they chew through pads about every 25,000 I don't know what they do but mine are lasting well
