+1

And only replace them (even when out of spec) if the pads also need replacing.

Why is that?

Thanks.

I am at 75k. Replace when warped and too thin. Mileage depends on use. Automatic car driven in city probably suffers the most.

Because there is no point in throwing away the pad life you have left with the current rotors.

would you guys run a full day at big willow with rotors w/ 62k miles on them?

If they're in spec and you have plenty of brake pad left, sure.
