That would be great if true but I wanted to see if others have done that and make sure it won't lead to squealing new pads or excessive dust!
My runner has 54k miles on the original rotors.

the only time I have replaced rotors is when they rusted on the rotor braking surface .. get rust blisters.. I do check the brakes every tire rotation ..
when replacing the brake pads @ 60K miles you should not have rotor issues. bleed brakes start by bleeding the r/rear then L/rear then RT/frt then LFT/frt.. open bleed screw with a hose in a small container that has brake fluid in it then using a C clamp push the cal pistons back then close the bleed screw.. do not want bad/nasty old fluid to get back into the master cyl..
do rears first then fronts ..I also put a small amount of anti seize on the brake pad backing plate .. never had noise over decades ..also pads do not stick or rust up in the pocket.
if you need brakes @30K miles then possible your putting a lot of stress on the braking system , rotors will get heat damaged..
