My little rant on brake repair
One essential component to proper brake function that many people may miss is the need to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. Tires that are evenly worn give your brakes a balanced road surface contact that creates the most effective friction between rubber and asphalt. (While brakes stop the wheels, road and tire contact stops the entire car. ) Regularly rotated tires reduce the need for brake repair. You also need to have your brake fluid inspected as part of your car maintenance regimen, as the fluid can become contaminated with moisture and metal flakes.
