Need front brake pad recommendation for 35's
My front brakes need replacing at 42,000 miles. I don't know if that's good, bad, or about average considering I've been running 35" Toyo MT's for some time now. I don't tow, and the most I haul is a couple of dirt bikes and gear occasionally.
Not sure whether to use OEM's or aftermarket. Severe/heavy duty or standard. Ceramic or metallic.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

My stock front pads last me about 41k miles, on stock size tires. I replaced em about a week ago with some Autozone Gold Duralast pads with a lifetime warranty. 36 bucks for the set.

They say it's hard to beat the OEM pads. I run stock tires and changed my front pads out sometime after 40k with NAPA premiums for about $69. I think the OEMs are $150-$200 but the Dealers also sell a Value Line for under $100 But I seem to remember some saying to stay with the more expensive ones? I tow 11000 lbs. one or two weekends a month and so far I've been happy with the NAPA Premium pads.

anyone thinking about changing the rotors out for slotted or cross drilled? any benefit running those with bigger meats? i have yet to see a big brake kit for our rigs. i know ssbc makes them for chevy and ford. i hate how we are always last on the aftermarket list.

I got the premium pads from the dealership, for all 4 wheels, not just fronts, it was $239.00. I have heard horror stories about after market pads cracking and falling apart.
