How do I know when it's time to get new brake pads?

If you're not doing a lot of hard braking, then 24K is probably a little soon for worn out pads - but it's possible. Most brake shops will give you

If you're not doing a lot of hard braking, then 24K is probably a little soon for worn out pads - but it's possible. Most brake shops will give you a quick inspection for free or very little. Find one you can trust and get them to check the rotors and pads.

Probably just some "glaze" on the rotors/pads. Make a hard stop (engage the ABS) from 50 mph or so and see if that will get rid of anything on the surfaces. May have to do it 2-3 times.

Edit: Get it checked soon. If the squeal is coming from the pad wear tattletale, it can wear the rotors.
