Rotor is pretty badly scored, but someone in an earlier post said that's a good thing because it increases the surface area of the brakes. We'll see...

wear prematurely because the high points of the rotor will cut into the pads faster, then be the 1st to hit the back plates of the pads as they wear.

Thanks Stan for the advise. I just recently put a new Avon rear tire on. I'm figuring that the pads should hold up until the tire wears out and then
I'll replace the rotor when I put on a new tire.
