Default Brake Pad Wear

After changing out my right front bearing, I noticed the brake pads were worn more on one side compared to the other. Has anyone ever reversed that pads to prolong the life of them? I've seen the question posed on a cople of other forums, but didn't see a good answer.

Uneven pad wear is usually due to caliper problems such as sticking slide pins, etc. Make sure the slide pins move and are lubed with silicone grease.

People don't normally reverse worn/used pads.

Pads are $30 at Vatozone, stop being cheap.

Check that the pins and pistons aren't sticking in the calipers, and that they are aligned correctly on the rotor (if they're OEM then there's no reason they should be out of alignment, but if you've had this problem for a long time and haven't checked you should). The rotor should be centered in the caliper.
