rotor problems 06 r/t

[johnsondodge]

i have a 06 rt and i drove home today . this is the 1st summer i had the car and its 86 degrees out side and i drove 40 miles at 70 mph. got home and found out my rotors were pretty warm not hot but pretty warm i notes heat coming from the wheel well when i was looking at my tiers and all 4 rotors were all about the same . is that normal ?? i did not do any really herd braking

Where there is friction, there is heat.

I agree it's normal. The heat waves could have been engine heat venting any way possible. . . but:

To be clear though, were you braking a lot before you stopped? The brakes will heat up, but if you were turning into your driveway from speed to a safe driveway speed, you shouldn't have heat waves radiating from your brake rotors.

How is your fuel mileage? I'm wondering if you have pads dragging on the rotors somewhere. . .

I bet its the first time you noticed because its the first time you check..Rotors are always warm after driving the car..
I had a bad Caliper on my Durango (piston wasn't moving back) and it smoked a lot when driving.

i was not braking hard and i did not see heat waves just could fell the heat coming
from the wheal well when i bent down to look at the tiers and last time i checked i was get 28 mpg going 70
