About 60,000 miles. This is with a combination of hiway and city
driving.
More stop and go, less mileage, more freeway driving, more milage.
Your mileage may vary.
In our LBCs, they usually get soaked with brake fluid long before they
need replacing. I did wear out 2 sets of disc pads in my life but never
a set of shoes. However, I have ruined several sets due to leaky wheel
cylinders or rear axle seals.
