Oreilly brand rotor already has a wear ridge?

[The motor guy]

Should have just had the original rotors turned. 15,000 miles and I'm already seeing a wear ridge. Ran 200,000 miles with hardly a wear ridge on the factory rotors except for this one rotor that I ran down to the backing pad which is why I replaced it.

Couldn't this be a sticky piston or collapsed brake hose? Or slider pin hanging?

How do we know the rotor itself is at fault?

Must be a combo of soft steel rotor and the pads you chose.
I'm still on original front rotors on Sportage, over 100k miles, barely worn, smooth, on 3rd set of pads including originals.

That's what I'm thinking. They cheaped out on the steel

Softer metal is sometimes an upgrade. Ever heard of damped iron/high-carbon steel?

Most likely it came with a lifetime warranty. Look in the receipt if it says so.

Good point although most today are 1-2 year warranty

Pretty sure I changed it out about this time last year.
