I don't. I would rather that than chew up another $300 tire. I learned my lesson. I live in the second to worst state in the nation, and our roads are no exception. I could literally total my 370Z on public roads by ripping the oil-pan off the engine and destroying the K-member if I did not dodge some of the up-heavals in our roads. No exaggeration. Never even bother visiting LA is my advice. It's a crap state in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.
That out of the way...
The dealership turned my front rotors and re-bedded my brakes for me. They said the driver's side rotor had to be turned twice and was the issue. Crazy. Pads wore equally on both sides, they said. I don't know why the driver's side rotor would have shat the bed so badly.
