Disc brakes on your car are a replaceable component of your braking system. Sooner or later they will have to be replaced.
As you know the disc brake pads are pressed against the disc or rotor which causes friction and heat and slows the car down. While the pad may not physically touch the rotor as a layer of gas may be between them, the pads will tend to wear out.
Pads come in different compositions designed for different purposes. A pad that stops a street car may not be effective on a race car. And a race car pad will be so hard that premature wear will occur if it’s used on a street car.
