Rotors and pads replaced after 6 months of purchase. Then, again after 3 months due to grinding noise and extended stopping distance. Currently, an independent mechanic found this was due to calipers being faulty, rotors and pads need replaced again at this time. Consumer stated rims and tires were also replaced, specific tire information was not given.
