Brake pads OEM Volvo or Mintex

I’ve got a ‘21 XC60 T5 Inscription now with about 33k miles and absolutely love it. I’ve had a couple problems with the front, passenger side interior handle but they’ve been covered under the CPO ten year warranty. Wish it had full screen and wireless CarPlay but there are ways around it and replace the OEM brakes with better ones when it’s time as the Volvo ones suck as they wear quickly and unevenly. VERY happy with it.

I've been running the stock brakes with aftermarket pads for a few years and it's worked well for me. Mintex 1144, Ferodo DS2500 and Roddisons pads have all been great.

I used Mintex 1144 on my MK7.5 ST. Were great for fast road and some Nurburgring laps in a year.

I do change oil and brake pads by myself for my xc60 and xc90.

At the moment i drive a 2014 volvo v60 it brakes for me when going under 30 mph and something comes in front of me and I brake (too) late has lots of dings and dongs imho as I used to mainly drive pre 2006 and pre 2000 cars.

Since we know Volvo has undersized the brake pistons for their SPA vehicles, leading to issues with pulsation. Instead of upsizing the brakes, they have released several pad revisions, have the latest pads slowed the occurance of brake pulsations?

Vanno verificate le pinze, c'\u00e8 sicuramente un problema di scorrimento.

Last time it went for a service I was advised rear brake pads are 90% worn and needed changing (they had fitted new rear brake pads 8 months previously).

The brakes made of wet cardboard is the only disappointment I have with my 2020 XC90.

I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
