PBR/Axxis brake pads?

Last year I installed PBR Ultimate pads and drove 15k miles on them, now pads are almost gone.
Does anybody have the same problem with PBR? 15k is too low for brake pads, isn’t it?

depends on how u drive them..i've had mine for over 35k.. honestly i think they are by far the best pads i've had compared to stock, hawks,raybestos.

I didn't find them better than Nissan's. At least I had original pads for ~40K without any problems. I want to try Wagner ThermoQuiet or Reybestos now.
Price of pads is important and I got PBR for ~$40, but if i'll spend $40-50 each year plus few hours for installation.... I don't like it.

they ran out kinda fast.....I REALLY REALLY didnt like the dust that they put out....two three days= dirty rims. so i went back to OEM and didnt really notice a super difference in stopping power. im using slotted brembo rotors.

Also got mine from the GD, so far they're the best i've had. But I agree, too much dust. Anyone have other pads they recommend that are not OEM?
