Default 01 A4 2.8 Brake Pad Thickness?

I'm trying to gage how long to wait to change my brake pads. Does anyone know the OEM BOL thickness of the front and rear pads on a 2001 A4 2.8 QMS?

At my 30K service, they measured Front 50% / Rear 45%.

At 50K service, Front 7 mm / Rear 4 mm.

I know I'm getting close, but I can't figure a use rate without knowing the original mm's. Trying to figure out if I can wait until the 60K service (doubt it).

Default FYI

Found the info. OEM thickness is 12 mm. So, for my driving habits, I use ~ 1.02 mm / 10 kmiles on the front and ~ 1.6327 mm every 10 kmiles on the rear.

At the 60K service, I should have ~ 5.98 mm Front and 2.3673 mm Rear; so, I should go ahead and replace both sets (at least the rears) at the 60K service
