Sorry to derail your thread but I'm looking for new pads and rotors and what's a good brand for oversized tires and that will solve the brake dust issue because our trucks are horrible on the front wheels

I have hawk pads on all 4 corners and have no dust at all. Way better than OEM Pads. Plus they seem to stop better as well.

Yea I noticed a noticeable difference, I have 35s and I could feel the brake pads "bite" better. Plus I have not had any issues with brake noises. They seem to be quiet so far I have about 5000 miles on them and the bedding in process probably played a huge role.

Overall I recommend hawk pads. I have the yellow boxed ones and got them for 150 shipped. Ebc pads were 220, so I decided to go with hawk and glad I did.

Wagner thermo quiets are great as well. My dad runs them on his 00 f150 and gets no brake dust and the warranty is awesome, just take them in to your local oriely store when the pads are ready to be changed again and they will swap them for new ones for free.
