Did you look at both inside *and* outside pads, on both sides?

Those warning tabs are only on the inside pad. If the inside pad seizes,
extra load will be forced on the outer pad, and it will wear twice as fast.
You won't know until you get the grinding noise that tells you your rotors
are already damaged.

If you leave your brakes a "few years", you'd better hope you live in an
area that gets no snow.
