Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve complementary roles, and understanding their differences helps explain why one set may wear faster on a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The front rotors handle most of the braking load because weight transfers forward under deceleration, so front rotors commonly experience greater heat and wear; rear rotors support stability and parking brake function. When front rotors warp or develop excessive runout, drivers feel steering-wheel vibration—rear issues often present as pulsation in the brake pedal or reduced parking brake performance. Herb Chambers Chevrolet's certified technicians inspect both axles, advise on resurfacing versus replacement, and highlight available promotions to make safety affordable—see our service specials. We recommend pairing rotor work with a full brake inspection to identify related components like calipers, hardware, and pads. Ready to restore braking confidence?
