Are the stock brake pads in Changan Alsvin unsuitable for Pakistani traffic and road conditions?

In stop-and-go city traffic e.g., Karachi o r Lahore, are the frequent braking and heat buildup reducing the life of brake pads?

Yes. In cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi, stop-and-go traffic, constant braking, and short commutes cause:

High heat buildup, especially in summer.

Faster brake pad deterioration due to soft friction material.

The OEM pads may not be designed to handle such high-cycle braking stress, leading to early wear and brake fade.
