Default When to change rotors?

How do I know when it is time to change the rotors without it being too late?

I just had my front rotors changed, I have 268,000 miles on it. They were finally starting to pulsate and I doubt there was enough meat left on them to cut them. The new ones are so smooth. Rears are still original. Since they are solid I don't worry about them so much.

You should change them when they are beyond spec on runout or thickness. That'll be in the service manual.

dont change brake pads and rotors at the same time. so one then wait couple of days to break it in then change the other.
