Every vehicle that I owned with a manual transmission has gotten phenomenal mileage on the original brakes. I do use the transmission as well as brakes for slowing the vehicle which undoubtedly makes this possible.

I just had my 48000 km service and brakes were at 80% front and 90% rear remaining. I do travel approx 50 km to work each way every day on the highway.

It has to do with your driving style...

I wish the tires were as durable as the brakes. Mine where in poor shape (mostly do to all the hard driving) and I just replaced them at 55,000km. I got Toyo Spectrum (175/65/14) which are more tenacious then the stock and quieter, but they make the steering feel more light and are a little more wiggly in the cross wind (probably cause of the solid centre groves for channeling rain). All in all, I'm very happy with the tires. |
