The boxster needed rear pads at 54,000 miles. I blame the traction control. So I now drive with it turned off.

My Yukon had its original brakes for upwards of 150k before I replaced the pads (just because).

Yeah, my pads lasted about 80k, which was 5k longer than the tires. I was impressed, figured a heavy-ass truck would chew through both.
