It's that time for my JKU - noticed The inside front pads were wicked thin while rotating my tires 5 tire forward pattern - so I'm gonna have to replace the fronts soon.

What brand do you guys use? Do most of you just stick with the Auto Zone special? Just polling the audience while I still have some time to figure it out.

Great! I asked because Quadratec has a lot of hawk pads available and didn't know if that was a common replacement for OEM pads or not

Honestly just go with the oem pads. They work great for 35" tires still.

I've heard good things on the Hawk pads. Most guys bitch about rear pads wearing fast. I think this
Is a first for fronts I've read about..

My rears have most of their life left - they've always lasted longer than fronts for me. I tend not to brake very hard and downshift a lot though.
