Brake pads Centric or Tesla
I replaced all 4 sets of pads on mine with Centric ceramic pads from rockauto. They are quiet and set brake dust. They have excellent grip on the new rotors.
Pros: quiet, low dust, good grip
I'm at 71k on the original pads for my 2021 Model 3. I dont seem to go through pads quite as fast as some people.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 71000 km
Still on the originals at 110K miles on my 2016 Model S, plenty of wear left.
Pros: long lasting, durable
Mileage: 110000 km
my 2015 Model S is still on the original brake pads, never had an issue, and I'm at like 125k miles.
Pros: long lasting, no issues
Mileage: 125000 km
Several teslas, both S and 3, and never had to replace them. I got used to one pedal driving. My 3 has almost 60k and brakes are almost new.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 60000 km
2014 MS P85D 102,000 miles still on factory pads and rotors.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 102000 km
I have about 50k miles on my 2018 M3. Pads still seem to have plenty of life left.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 50000 km
I've had Centric pads and rotors on the back (90944519) for 5 years and 40,000 miles. They're ok, but they're much noisier than OEM and tend to grab/groan at very low speed.
Pros: ok performance, long lasting
Cons: noisy, grabby at low speed
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: 90944519
If you're looking for a solid set at a budget price, I've always had solid results from Centric and Power Stop brands on Rockauto. They're not high end by any means but they're cheaper than going OEM and they've always lasted at least 40,000+ miles. Also, if you go to Rockauto, do not be tempted by their economy category. The offerings in that section are very inexpensive but you absolutely get what you pay for. I went that route once out curiosity and the pads and rotors from the economy section were awful. Squealed and squeaked from day one and wore down insanely fast. Tried sound dampening sprays and re greasing. Never took the noise away.
Pros: long lasting, budget friendly
Cons: economy parts awful, noisy
Mileage: 40000 km
Got a 60k MYLR, my pads and rotors seem fine but I keep getting this super loud squeal sound when I brake.
Cons: loud squealing
Mileage: 60000 km
