brake pad/rotor wear pattern.

When replacing flat with spare on left front on my 2002 S10 I took look at brake pads/rotor. At 36k there is lots of pad left but I notice rotor wear odd. On outside the outer 1 1/14 in. is normal wear but the inner 3/4 is not wearing even though pad covers that area. You can feel that that the inner section is higher (not worn). And on the inner side seems like the same non wear on the centre 1/2 in. of the rotor area. Haven't checked right side yet but have always felt the braking less agrressive than our Malibu car. Had dealer check long time ago but told they were ok. Any idea why the wear patterns I see?

The wear pattern you describe is not all that uncommon. You may not see the wear in MM but those pads could be hardened and ineffective in spots. You would have a better feel if you refreshed the brakes at this point. The old idea that you should always go until brakes are worn to the metal is not a good one.
