Loud Squealing or Metallic Scratching Noises -Â A scratching or squealing noise emitting from your tires generally indicates your brakes are nearing the end of their lifespan or are already completely depleted.
Decreased Stopping Power -Â Brakes that feel like they have less "bite"Â likely may require replacement.
Long Pedal Travel Distance -Â If you require a longer than normal pedal depression to stop your vehicle, you may need new brake pads.
