There is a minimum rotor thickness stamped into the rotor, so unless they are under spec they do not NEED to be replaced. That being said however, if a noise is to develop and the rotors were not replaced, you would then be buying rotors and pads again because you can’t install new rotors with old pads. So it’s kinds of a double edge sword. Me personally I replace the rotors with the pads every time.
