   That's like saying there's no average lifespan for a person or vehicle.   
   o It's a copout (in my humble opinion).   
      
   Yes, there _is_ a rule of thumb.   
   o For example, no front disc pads last the life of the vehicle.   
      
   And as another example, no pads likely last only 10,000 miles either.   
      
   There's an AVERAGE.   
   o That's what I seek.
