Default Brake Pads

How long do a typical set of front brake pads last on a '07 Super V8? Obviously driving style would affect the life, but how may miles would you expect a set of pads to last with normal driving? Thanks in advance.

Expect answers differing by a factor of 5 or 10.

So, 10K to 50K miles.

Less if the brakes are dragging e.g. due to lack of maintenance.

The rear brakes wear quicker due to the computer applies them ahead of the front to minimize front end diving.
On my 06 SV8, fronts 34K mi- rears 24K mi. Live in LA and drive freeway to work 5 days week. This is my daily driver. Very little stop and go.
