Need to replace the brake pads on my wife’s Tahoe. I’ve always somehow selected the dirtiest break pads available, even if I spend more.

What brake pads can I get that will obviously be the safest but also be as clean as possible.

Thanks

I’ve used Import Direct and Wagner brands in the past. I went with ceramic pads that were clean (no dust) and easy to install. Cost was around $55 at O’Reilly

Thanks all, will look into these.

Also, I bought one of these caliper expander tools, game changer…. (I had everything down yesterday and opened the brake pad box and realized I had the back brake pads, not front. Got to use my new tool, tho)

I use CarQuest, Wagner, WearEver over the years since Advance Auto is nearby. I still get a light film of brake dust but nothing terrible.
