Tire / Brake Life

      Hi 
      
      I was checking my tire pressure today and started thinking about when I should
      be replacing my tires / brake pads. 
      
      Am I correct in assuming that brake pad should be replaced when they are 2/3 worn.
      The new RAPCO pad I purchased a while ago have a small divot on the end which
      I assume is a wear indicator. Is this correct?
      
      How long should tires last? Is there a good way to tell when they need replacement?
      
      Cheers

      2/3 wear on the pads is about right. You can go as thin as you like as long as
      you don't start rubbing the disk with the rivets that hold the pads.
      Tires are your call, as long as the cord isn't showing.
