The rear brakes definately last longer than the front. The front ones are, in my personal opinion, ridiculously thin and short-lived. I lost track of how many sets I've gone through, and I seem to get more miles per set than a lot of others here. I had my rear tire off not too long ago (keep working on the rear fender) and at well over 8000miles, there's plenty of wear left in them.
I usually use my front and rear brake at the same time. I guess it just makes more sense to me. If the rear brake picks up some of the tab, that's less wear on the front brakes, perhaps? And I figure that if something goes wrong and I need maximum braking, I'll already have my foot on it. *shrug* The way people drive around here, that's happened more times than I'd like to admit.
If you do wear em out, let us know how long it took ya! I'm also curious as to how long they last...
