Ive never gone down 95 without slamming on the brakes at least a few times. I doubt even a benz rotor could last 300k in those local driving conditions.  |
Actually I think it is possible. The car had 150,000 or so miles on it when I purchased it and the original owner used to drive it all the way up and down the east coast (I have oil change receipts from just about every Atlantic state Mercedes dealership.)
I myself drove a lot of mostly highway miles over the next 150,000 miles and most of that was on I-84 or the Merrit parkway during off-peak hours. I would say that i'm excellent at predicting traffic so most times I would just left off the pedal long before so that the brakes were only rarely used.
(FYI I already installed new rotors last year, I had these in the shed, they are destined for the scrap yard)
