Brake rotors are responsible for converting a car's motion into heat via friction with the brake pads. When you step on your brake pedals, it sends a signal to your brake calipers, which clamp on the brake pads and rotors to start the actual braking process.

Residing inside your wheels, this component doesn't need much maintenance. At best, they would only need to be checked for wear and tear with every car wash, especially after 30,000 miles depending on your area's climate and driving habits.

Since this component is fundamentally connected to the function of your Kia's brake pads, then it's safe to say that if you need your brake rotors fixed, you'll need to change your pads, too. Your front pads and rotors are likely to experience worse or quicker wear and tear due to how much heavier your car is at the front than it is at the back. Your rear pads and rotors and pads offer a more supportive role to your brake system, especially during emergency brakes.
