MARTYW Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Wagner Thermo Quiet pads are great pads. I know O'Reilly and Parts City stores have them. Edited September 30, 2011 by MARTYW (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With about 25k+ miles I will report they are doing fine with minimal dust. When I say minimal I mean I can go three weeks without washing the truck and not have black front wheels. Couldn't say that about the Wagners I put on the Envoy before I sold it, those things were dusty as grandmas attic. I will most likely get about 50k out of these pads at the rate they are wearing with normal stop and go commuting. I can't speak for the cheaper pads but the CMax's seem to be just as good as any I've used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
