Front rotors typically run about $60–$120 per rotor, while rear rotors are usually in the $30–$70 range. OEM Nissan rotors tend to be at the higher end of these ranges.
The price you pay for rotors depends on whether you choose front or rear rotors, the manufacturer (OEM vs aftermarket), and the rotor design (standard vented vs premium drilled/slotted). The 2015 Pathfinder uses front ventilated rotors and rear rotors on all trims, and prices can vary by retailer, whether you buy individual rotors or in a set, and whether a core charge applies. Installation labor is additional if you have a shop perform the work.
Front rotors
Prices for front rotors vary by brand and rotor type. The following ranges reflect common aftermarket and OEM options for the Pathfinder's front brakes.
- Aftermarket standard vented front rotors: typically $60–$120 per rotor
- OEM Nissan front rotors (dealer): typically $90–$120 per rotor
- Premium drilled/slotted or performance front rotors: typically $110–$180 per rotor
Prices can vary by retailer, shipping, and whether you buy a single rotor vs a set. Core charges may apply if you return old rotors.
OEM vs aftermarket considerations
OEM rotors are designed to exactly match Nissan specifications and may offer guaranteed fit but at a higher price; aftermarket options can be cheaper and offer features like drilled or slotted designs, but quality varies by brand.
Rear rotors
Prices for rear rotors are generally lower than front rotors. The following ranges cover common aftermarket and OEM options for the Pathfinder's rear brakes.
- Aftermarket rear rotors: typically $30–$70 per rotor
- OEM Nissan rear rotors (dealer): typically $60–$100 per rotor
- Premium rear rotors: typically $60–$120 per rotor
Note: Some retailers may offer rotor+caliper or rotor+pad kits; ensure you’re comparing the same rotor type for your trim. Labor and core charges apply separately.
Summary
For a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder, plan on front rotors around $60–$120 each (with OEM or premium options leaning higher) and rear rotors around $30–$70 each (OEM typically $60–$100). Shop around at auto parts stores or the dealership to compare pricing, and remember to factor in core charges and labor if you’re having the brakes replaced by a shop. Replacing rotors is often most cost-effective when done in pairs on each axle to maintain balanced braking performance.
