Stock brakes worn out?
I've now got 27k or about 16k miles for y'all muricans....
Winter driving my car so well, but it definitely feels like braking performance has decreased. May be the snow tires too. What's your guys experience with this? Considering changing the pads but I don't know if it's necessary... |

Just pop off your wheels and check the thickness of your pads.

tires are also probably a big part of it...and you can bleed your brakes too

Tires have no effect on how much initial bite a pad feels to have.
Glazed pads, air in the lines or worn pads or defective memory (  ) could make them feel like they have less bite.

Over time your brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air because brake fluid is hygroscopic. By getting rid of this air and having pure brake fluid, you get better braking. Also -- Braking distance is mostly on the tire...
