Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your Kenworth T170 braking system. The friction material your T170 calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your Kenworth T170, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.
A Kenworth T170 disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your T170, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your Kenworth T170. The friction material wears gradually and must be replaced when it reaches the minimum safe thickness, typically 3mm, to maintain full stopping performance on your T170.
Ceramic Brake Pads for the Kenworth T170
Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most Kenworth T170 drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, T170 ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your Kenworth T170 at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the T170, and are significantly gentler on Kenworth T170 rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the Kenworth T170
Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the Kenworth T170. They are the preferred choice for T170 trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance Kenworth T170 vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your Kenworth T170, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.
Our brake pad selection for the Kenworth T170 is curated specifically for American road and climate conditions. Every ceramic pad confirmed for the Kenworth T170 in our catalogue is evaluated for cold-weather friction effectiveness on your T170, not just room-temperature lab specs. Brands including Akebono, EBC, and Raybestos are stocked as authorized retailer products for the Kenworth T170, meaning full manufacturer warranty and zero grey-market risk on every T170 purchase.
How often should I replace my Kenworth T170 disc brake pads?
Most Kenworth T170 brake pads last between 40,000 and 70,000 kilometres, but this varies based on driving style and conditions. American city driving tends to wear T170 pads faster than highway driving. Inspect Kenworth T170 pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.
Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my Kenworth T170 at the same time?
Not necessarily. Front brakes on the Kenworth T170 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the T170, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.
Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my Kenworth T170 in American winters?
Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most Kenworth T170 drivers. For T170 drivers who tow regularly or drive performance Kenworth T170 vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
