@mrblaine, any idea what the average lifespan is?

True story. I had a guy want a set of replacement pads under warranty because he only got 50,000 miles out of them.

I've been on mine for 9k miles now and although I didn't measure, the wear seemed negligible last time I had the wheels off. And I'm stopping a 37" beadlocked combo at 130 lb each in daily driving duty, with downshifting. If @mrblaine cares to provide me with the starting depth I could measure mine now. I suspect I'm requesting much more out of mine than the average user though.
