I'm going to try them on the Ram 3500 in my sig, I already have a set on the front of the xB which still look brand new after almost 3 years!
When the zinc coating over the braking surface of the rotor wears off does it gum up the pads? Seems other companies are careful to not coat the braking surface.
It hasn't worn off, or gummed up anything yet on the xB. If Old Man Winter ever sends us some snow or ice here in Cincinnati, I'll put up some pictures. Last I saw they only had light circular scratches from the pads. I would think the slots would cause any debris to slough off in operation(?)
