Just re-did my front brakes tonight, major grinding on the Rotors, just torn up. So here's the story:
About a year ago, I replaced all 4 pads/rotors. I bought the truck new in 2015. 80,000mi later, I decided to do all new brakes as best practice. I found that the OEM brakes were still in pretty good shape. Despite my aggressive braking and frequent towing, I probably could've gone to 100k on the original brakes.

I replaced all 4 corners with Advance Auto Wearever Platinum pads and rotors. Nice and shiny.

Well, 1 year and about 23,000mi later, they are toast. Ridiculously worn, and I never had any warning until the scraping started.
![320476]( "320476")
They were crap to begin with, my front wheels are black from the amount of dust they made, and they were never particularly grippy. Just crap brakes.
I don't know what kind of unobtanium **** Nissan uses, but I'll stick with OEM from now on. $225 for another 80,000+mi, yes please. Better than $150 for about 22,000mi.
