The poster refuses to say what kind of vehicle he's talking about or
how much mileage he has on those pads. Sometimes that wear pattern will
occur every time with certain designs and there is nothing wrong with
the installation or maintenance. If he got 50,000 miles off them it
means one thing and if he got 12,000 it means something else.
Don't even ask whether they are front or rear.
