Are you sure they aren't sticking ?
If they aren't, change your driving style to avoid braking as much as possible.
I only pointed out the brake issue so it will be paid attention to. Most of you will never have any problems, indeed, most people who use brakes heavily wont have problems either.

I just wanted to point out the potential.

I cannot help using a lot of brakes as I have to drive in the city 90% of the time, and people here love to wait and pull out right in front of you hoping you will slam them and they get a insurance check. If you touch the front wheel rim at the end of my day you will burn yourself. So no, I am not sure they are not sticking... it is something I have been keeping an eye on.
