Default Has anyone else noticed that their rear wheels seem to be getting dirtier than the fronts??
I have a silver '03 3.0Q with sport package, and when I clean it, it always seems like the rear wheels are dirtier than the fronts. Anyone else notice this? In my experience fronts are usually lots dirtier because they are doing all the work. Or maybe it's my imagination. I've had my car for about 2 months, so I don't know if new brakes have anything to do with it.

Default I have noticed that this only happens when the outside temp falls.
I don't recall having this problem during the summer.

Default Dealer told me that rear pads are softer than front pads(more)
therefore they make more dust than the front pads. He said this is normal for our cars.
