Default Front brake pad wear

I have the RX 450h with 17,000 miles on it now. I love it and one of the things I notice when I wash it is very little brake pad dust. I've read of Prius owners going over 130,000 miles before changing their pads so I thought I'd drop a line here to see what you long term owners are getting.

145000 KILOMETRES on my 2006 and lots of pad left. Somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 I'd guess (without actually measuring).

2006 RX400h Just did tires and I looked at the brakes I would say roughly 60% or more left at 64,000 miles. I could probably get 130,000+ miles out of them.

RX330 AWD 2006 approaching 70k, still on original brake pads; probably will go for another 30k without replacement needed. Going in this week for 3rd set of tires. Will be switching to Bridgestone Alenza tires. Have been on Michellins but 30k miles per set is not cutting it.

30k on Michellins what air pressure do you put in them? I got 55k on the oem Michellins
I could have gone some more but had to replace a tire for a nail and it was then replace two and be out with two or go on and replace the other three. Put on the Alenza tires had to replace two of them when I got a nail in one that could not be fixed. 9k mile on it $63 dollars to replace both tires saw that as a good thing.
