Some Thoughts On Brake Pad Choice

Exactly.

From work I have a short jaunt to the highway where I may not even have to hit the brakes once and then I am only on the highway for about 8 km where I don't usually run into traffic. My first real brake application would in most cases be coming off highway speed to the traffic light at the end of the exit ramp. In the wet I usually brake alot earlier because it almost feels like I have no brakes until all of the water is evaporated with the heat build up.
