Default Brake pad warning light

Once the brake pad warning light comes on is there a certain amount of miles that you can drive before any damage to the rotors occur? Or do you have to change the pads immediately. I know the sooner the better, I was just wondering if you can still drive it for say another 250 miles or whatever.

should be alright... i would at least visually inspect unless you're going to replace the rotors anyways when you change the pads... good luck!

Agree with sydneyman but will not wait to long before changing them, otherwise you migth damage your rotors & get yourself and other in a dangerous situation,suggest you take a look at those for your 968.www.axxisbrakes.com/extended_duty.html
