I’m about to replace the pads on my 2017 Ford Explorer and I’ve fallen into that classic internet rabbit hole of reading way too many conflicting opinions. Some people swear by ceramic pads because they’re quieter and produce less dust, which sounds great because my front wheels are always caked black after a week. But then others say semi-metallic stops better under heavy loads and handles heat better, which matters when you’re driving a heavy SUV in stop-and-go traffic during summer. I’ve been looking at a few shops that offer Professional Brake Pad Service Dubai and they all stock both types, but nobody gives a straight answer about which is actually better for our conditions. I don’t track the car or tow anything crazy, just daily driving with the occasional trip to RAK or Fujairah. Has anyone here tried both on a similar sized SUV and noticed a real difference in stopping power or noise? Also do ceramic pads really extend rotor life like some claim? Just trying to avoid a costly mistake.
