We tow a 5000 lb RV trailer often and have an even mix of hwy and city driving hence why I'm impressed pad are still at 40%. Audi brake jobs are not cheap as each wheel also has a brake sensor to replace once pads are redone.

also how have the rear brakes held up? I know they go faster if you have DAP (ACC) because the brake bias is towards the rear to keep the car level when it slows down automatically for a smoother more refined ride...

Still only 40% hwy miles. New front rotors at 95k was not a shocker and could be tow related..... Granted I drive around town lightly not very aggressive.
