Yes, the same with tires, in the Midwest or somewhere with flat land where the roads are mostly straight for miles you'll get more miles than in say north central Pennsylvania. But this is about brakes and has involved into some half assed pissing match about factory OEM brake pad life. I was calling someone out for claiming 145K on OEM pads, now there are claims of a quarter of a million miles, or more.
ROFLMAO.

Perhaps physics are different in the PNW than anywhere else in the country, or the manufacturers ship new vehicles there with some super secret squirrel brake package different than everywhere else?

We have 260K, do I hear 300K, 450K, LOL. You folks with those off the wall claims of 250K must also get twice the tire wear and double the fuel mileage too.

Or perhaps you're wrong? When most of the evidence points that way...

Perhaps I am wrong. That's only if I take Internet forum ramblings and claims, basically a lot of BS'ing, as "Evidence".

What I take as evidence is 30+ years of buying personal vehicles and doing my own maintenance for the most part, having two family members who are independent mechanics with their own businesses, one with 45 years under his belt, and indirectly managing a fleet of pickups and vans for the last 12 years or so. But carry on \ having fun with this 260,000 mile brake pad life BS. FWIW I showed this thread to the head wrench turner down at the Ford dealer yesterday and he got a better laugh out of it than I did.
