In my 48 years of driving, I've replaced front pads twice and rears, never. Tyres last me about 40k on average (that's approx 2-3 years) - although I once had a set of Dunlop SPs that lasted 6 months.

From the past work i did on police cars , (cops are hard on brakes) 60/40 %esp Frnt brks ,the soft pads were frequently replaced, & the hard compound pads wore the rotors out , so getting a happyaverage median type pad helps with long lasting qualities, As for the hydraulics mostly maintenance free , the seals may leak over time , it pays to renew brake fluidyearly as a rule of thumb ,to prevent scuffing.ensuring longer life.

one of the sets i put in lasted 5,000km. most of my cars last about 40,000
I don't see the problem, unless its really really bad text speed like "aE bro, cuz, kar," etc and we can understand it whats the problem. It is not a English exam, their is better things to do than nit pick on spelling and grammar. You are not the only one strobo that has noticed it, I get it a bit.
