Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve complementary roles on the 2026 Kia Telluride: front rotors typically handle a greater share of braking force and therefore wear faster, while rear rotors contribute to balanced stopping and vehicle stability. Differences in size, ventilation, and cooling mean the front rotors can show signs of wear sooner—warping, higher temperatures, and more rapid pad wear—especially in heavier or more urban driving. Our technicians at Courtesy Kia of Brandon evaluate both axles, explain why one axle may need replacement before the other, and recommend paired pad replacements when appropriate to maintain braking harmony. Take advantage of our transparent diagnostic process, warranty protection, and occasional service coupons. Ready to protect your Telluride’s braking system?
