Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on the 2026 Kia Niro: front rotors typically handle more braking load and heat, so they often wear faster than rear rotors. Front-heavy braking dynamics mean front rotors are more prone to warping or glazing under repeated heavy stops. Rear rotors can show uneven wear when the brake balance or caliper function is compromised. Proper diagnosis at Nalley Kia determines whether resurfacing or full replacement is needed per axle. We explain the difference in repair scenarios and the cost implications clearly—resurfacing can be a lower-cost fix when thickness is adequate, but replacement is safer and more durable when rotors are out of spec. Take advantage of our service specials or loyalty programs and schedule service online to protect stopping performance and extend rotor life.
