Is tapering of the pads from outside to inside? Specifically on the rear pads the outside edge of the pads are wearing more than the inside for some reason.

I've read on RL that tapering from top to bottom is normal, but nothing about outside to inside.

I've never had any pad tapering. What rotors, pads, and fluid? Any pics?

Ne pics? U ride your brakes? Mike

rotors: stock rear, ap racing fronts
pads: RS14 rear, RS29 front
fluid: endless

I should have taken pics, but didn't when I was swapping out pads. I have 6 days on the pads. The difference was only about a mm, but i thought it was odd considering the front pads are even across.

Not that I am aware of.

Yes, happens to me. Mostly on the front. If you search the web/forums, you'll find a few threads on pad taper and how "normal" it is.

Alright. Nothing to worry about it sounds like. I thought I had read about tapering only from top to bottom.

Thanks.

It happens. Just flip them and the bevel will flatten in the other direction. Just be sure to catch it with plenty of pad remaining on the thin leading edge. When you use your brake less and smoother then this situation should subside.
