When should you change the brake pads on your 1990 Chevrolet S10 Blazer? It depends on you and your driving style. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your S10 Blazer. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Chevrolet  S10 Blazer. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal.
