I was told that if the wheels aren't torqued correctly then that can warp the rotors also. In PA every year the state has inspections including the brakes and I didn't have much wear.
That's true. Wheels need to be torqued on to spec with a proper torque wrench - not hammered on by a kid with an air gun and attitude.
