Well, it's like trying to answer the question "How long will my money last?" It depends on how you spend itl.

You have a given thickness of pad left. The amount that is removed each time you apply the brakes depends on the amount of energy that must be absorbed, which depends on how hard you press and for how long.

If your driving involves a lot of cross-country cruising, you could to many thousands of miles. In a large urban metro area and agressive driving, you might be able to go 100 miles.
