I don't know. Tire tread maybe? It would seem odd to me for the front brakes to have more life than the rears because generally the fronts do more of the work. On tires it would make sense to have less tread on the rears because the car is RWD. But, I'm completely guessing.

Thanks - got a word from the SA - the numbers pertain to the brake pads. Obviously they've done a sloppy job or have made up the numbers as those are my last yr's numbers and this yr's are showing higher ... even though I did not replace the pads. Great job by the stealership.
