Kia Optima Brake Pads

Is your Kia Optima's stopping distance getting longer and longer? Have you also noticed screeching or squealing sounds when you press the brake pedal? If so, you're likely dealing with bad brake pads. They're designed to press against the rotor to slow your vehicle down, but over time, the friction burns the padding away. Pads that are worn increase the risk of damage to the rotor and caliper, but more importantly, they're a safety concern. Thankfully, AutoZone has you covered with plenty of brake pads for your Kia Optima to choose from.

When it comes to replacing brake pads it's best to replace them when they're less than 1/4-inch thick, which ends up being every 30,000 to 70,000 miles for most drivers. It depends on how you drive and the type of brakes you have. You can choose between ceramic, semi-metallic, and organic brakes, and each has its benefits. On average, expect your Kia Optima brake pad replacement cost to be about $50 per axle for parts alone.
