Vehicle - 2008 Nissan Titan Crew Cab 2wd with 149k miles on it.
My driving habits are very little compared to most people that go to work day in and day out. My driving is in the 90% range of in town driving to the grocery store, doc appts., and rarely drive over to visit family maybe 6 times per year about 1hr 30 minutes away from my location. 40 minutes is all highway driving 70mph+ and the remaining of that time reaches average speeds of approx. 40mph-55mph in "mmmmm" somewhat stop and go in the Tampa Bay area where family lives.
Ok....with all that being said I don't tow a trailer at all anymore. Are slotted/drilled brake rotors better for my driving style or just the regular non slotted? I of course know that ceramic pads are the way to go regarding noisy brakes when brakes are applied. I live in Central Florida where it doesn't snow and rarely reaches 32 degrees freezing. Most of the time it's fairly warm with extremely high humidity. Never goes over 95 degrees, but our humidity makes the feel like temps 100+ degrees in the summer months for sure.
I don't know anything about brake calipers. I just know that when I have seen my tires being rotated or just removed in general there is noticeable surface rust, but beyond surface I am not sure if the rust on the calipers are more severe. I purchased my truck about 4 years ago when it had 110k miles on it then , and I have never had any issues with my brakes performing like they should. I want to buy what is the best for my truck and esp. for my safety and the publics safety while I'm on the road.
So slotted rotors or not? pads? calipers? and beyond? I would be very grateful for your wisdom regarding this. Thank you all in advance!
