Well getting out of the temp range for the pads will kill them quick. Thats the beauty of performance pads like the Hawks, they can operate at higher temps. Perfect for mountain drives and towing.
While your at it since you know you are heating up the system, you may want to bleed your brakes, and/or swap to SS lines if budget allows. But at least bleed your brakes with some ATE Blue fuid. Flush out the stock stuff till the blue comes out

You've got at bumper to bumper warranty for the first 12000 miles - they should honor that.
I got over 150,000 mile on the brakes on my '99 ecsb - never had them off or had the rotors cut. I'd step up to the factory pads again. And they don't throw dust like the ones on my wife's BMW.

Brake pads
I've tried many pads over the years and I recommend; Performance Friction pads for tow vehicles.
Higher coeficient of friction (less pedal effort) and work better the hotter they get. Reasonably priced as well, similar to OEM $.
Use your search online, many companies sell them.

Since then, I've been a convert of Praise Dyno brakes and I am on my second set or pads/rotors x 4.

Are the pads for the front and rear the same? For my Tahoe I cant find a rear set of Hawks. Only front pads but they say "Performance Street Compound, Front Pad Set, With Rear Disc, 1 Set Required Per Axle." Sounds as if the pads will fit both front and rear since I have read discs. Anybody know?
