I had my rears replaced at 22K and I tend to brake very hard.

I currently have 18000 miles on the vehicle and iDrive says both front and rear pads have 46,000 miles. remaining. The remaining miles keep increasing as I drive so I'm guessing I will get more than the 64,000.

About half of my miles are in Dallas traffic and half on trips. I anticipate traffic lights and brake softly.

Highway driving will extend the life. My Jetta had 82,000 miles on the original front brake pads when I sold it, and it had been inspected right at that mileage and passed Virginia inspection.
