   Thanks Xeno for understanding the question (which some who posted clearly   
   didn't) and for purposefully helpfully adding another datum to the solution   
   set (where the more good data we get, the better that average estimate).   
      
   Assuming new pads are 12 mm with a margin of 2 mm when replaced, that means   
   you attain at least 10,000km per millimeter (at least 6,000 miles per mm).   
      
   So far, we have the following decent datapoints:   
   o Jurid/Textar FF front pads at ~1,000 miles per mm (10,000 miles per pad)   
   o The Real Bev at about 4,000 miles per millimeter (40,000 miles per pad)   
   o Xeno front pads at about >6,000 miles per mm (>60,000 miles per pad)   
      
   One question is how much meat is left on the pad when you replace them.   
   o I'm assuming 2 mm out of the 12 mm in toto & of course, linear wear   
      
   Does that sound about right?
