How long will 2mm last on brake pads?
2mm can go from 2ft to 2000miles. Practically forever, stopping, however, may become an issue after a while. As long as you don’t use the brakes, 50,000 miles or more. Now if you have to use your brakes in everyday city driving,I would bet less than 10,000 miles.

If your friction material were to get too thin, then it would not be able to slow down your vehicle quickly after you step on the brake pedal.
