Are low-quality OEM o r aftermarket brake pads in Changan Kalam contributing to faster wear on Pakistani roads?

Some vehicles come with soft compound pads that wear quickly. Are local users getting substandard replacements due to part availability issues?

Yes. Many aftermarket brake pads available in Pakistan are of poor quality and wear out quickly. Additionally, some OEM pads supplied in base trims are made from softer compounds, which offer smooth braking but have a shorter life. Due to part availability o r cost concerns, users often buy cheap non-genuine pads, which don’t last long and may reduce braking performance.
