Default Brake Pads
Is there anyway to tell if factory pads are worn without taking visually checking? Perhaps from sqeaking or grinding sounds.

Why not visually..too tough to bend down and look through your spokes?

It's hard to look through steel wheels with snow tires isn't it.

Factory pads have sensors in them. IT'll show up on your trip computer.
