I am running Kumho Ecstas too. First set for me 255x55R18.
Only 76500 miles though. Mobil 1 every 4k.
Getting ready for new brakes, cross drilled rotors (no slots). Should I use ceramic pads or old school metallic?

Hey James: I would go with the OEM pads, the price is aittle more but will last and last ( replaced my original set at almost 100k, and replaced w/OEM's ) and the best thing...NO BRAKE DUST ! !Originally Posted by Bee Sting

Concensus is that OEMs are the best.

Guys,
Former Isuzu dealer here is offering ceramic or metallic pads that seems to supply thru GM Canada.
OEM pads are listing at CDN $290 for the front!
I will call Merlin!

Merlin say fronts are USD 117, rears USD 93.
Canadian dealer says fronts are CDN $298.
Merlin gets my money and UPS gets to ship with no cost to me to my closest border point UPS Store (45 minute drive).
My apologies for "thread jacking".
