Well, if he lives in the north where salt eats the discs in short order
that would be one reason.
I have seen the damage caused by de-icing salt firsthand. Large pieces
of the braking surface of the disc flake right off. Very expensive
repairs are required every other year -- new discs and pads at the least.
Fronts are not effected. The spray from the front tires goes directly on
the rear discs.
Glad I have rear drums.
