Bro, thanks, quite close to reality and with what I have in my mind. And some terms use for car fluids etc.
For Bros who inquired tyre and brake. Well, I would say I am a light footed, anticipate my moves, try not to rush if possible. Example, I do see some drivers who drive fast for a distance when they saw it's red light, maybe want to Queue in front of traffic light. Also, some drivers driving with brake light "on" which makes me wonder do they driving automatic gear car with both feet? Similar with this driving habit, I practice brake slowly (I make my own evaluation that slow braking is better than harsh braking (stimulate the mechanism, e.g.: brake pads & disc, springs, overall integrity etc.) And averagely travelling more highway than city (less stop-start).
technically you already have your answer in the first post. For Bros who inquired tyre and brake. Well, I would say I am a light footed, anticipate my moves, try not to rush if possible.

i would like to talk more about the brake issue. i also think it is a little bit abnormal to change your rotor more than your pads.
i have to disagree with the slow braking part, i myself i a calm driver, but i cannot stand people who are cruising too slowly on a multiple lane straight road between lights (i mean c'mon la, at least a sane person speed and not 20-30kmh, dont hog up those people behind you). usually i dont drag the brakes for too long as it will glaze the surface of the brake and the rotor and make the brakes less efficient over time.
do you ever feel that the brake bite harder every time after you bedded in a new brake pads? over time, holding on to brakes after you come to a stop from high speed with burn and glaze the surface between the pad and rotor, that's why brake feels spongier over time. the longer you drag the brake will build up more heat as well as compared to short spurt of harder brakes with time in between for the heat to escape.
