I’ve mentioned this before in other threads.
Example, my wife drove an ‘03 Avalon for years, I NEVER got more than about 8-9 months (around 15,000 miles) out of the front brakes, even using top of the line NAPA pads and rotors. She gets a new car, I use the Avalon as a daily driver. I never did the brakes in the couple years I drove that car!
She is oblivious to stop signs and red lights, speed up to them, SLAM the brakes on.
As of right now, I have 101,000 miles on my Duramax brakes. Just sayin’
