    Aren’t they harder on the rotors though? The whole idea behind brake pads is they’re significantly softer than the rotor, so you can go through many pads before changing the rotors.

      No, a so called “transfer film” forms on the surface of the disk that reduces the overall wear and resulting brake dust.

      Though it should be noted that you shouldn’t just slap on ceramic pads without also changing to new rotors as the pattern of wear from the pads is different.
