Typically about 10 percent of the linings are left before parts start grinding metal-on-metal. You can judge the number of miles left based on your driving habits. If these are still the original linings at 60,000 miles and you'll be doing the same type of driving, you may get another 5,000 miles on them, but that's just an estimate.
