I have 10,000 miles on my 2019 Ram and today I looked at the brakes and the rotors as I walked by. I noticed scoring on all the rotors, the front more heavily than the the rear. It’s probably normal, thought I would ask. No shaking, no vibrations on stopping, just noticed the scoring.

Thanks for any information!

I agree but I can’t quite get in there to take a photo, I will try again.

Those last two don't look right.
There's high & low ridges indicating crappy pad material IMO.

You could have them turned since they are so new and then toss in good pad. KBC green stuff or something along those lines. or just upgrade the whole setup. Us forum people have tendencies to nickel and time ourselves to death on un necessary ****. haha

I thought it looked normal but it never hurts to ask other people’s opinion.

They don’t catch my nail but you can tell they are there.

I vote for normal. Been doing my own brakes since I was 17, 55 now. Look ok to me. Did you get a chance and pull the calipers and look at the pads themselves?

I didn’t, I don’t have the setup for that.

Looks normal to me also. That's not scoring to me, just normal rotor wear, especially if the pad material is hard.

I usually just change pads every 100,000 miles on everything.

I've never messed with a rotor.

I just turned 63.
