Not really concerned about how fast they eat rotors, more concerned about eradicating pad smear that cannot be avoided using OEM US market brake pads.
They are great for road use too - better bite and modulation than standard, even in subzero temps. - and do a great job of cleaning off pad deposits on the discs when they are cold to warm (temperature range at which they are most abrasive). The only downside is the incredibly loud squeal under light pedal application when coming to a stop, and I really mean loud, like having a screaming child at each wheel. Obviously, if you constantly lay down pad material on the disc, the squeal is minimum. Squealing is at its worst when the discs have been scrubbed clean.
