Power Stop drilled and slotted rotors give you the advantages of both drilled holes for cooling and slots to sweep away gas and dust. Power Stop rotors use only the finest blanks and feature G3000 grade castings from the best foundries. All drilled and slotted rotors, except for hub rotor assemblies, are silver zinc plated to resist rust.

In this review, we evaluate the best brake rotors for towing available today. We have also included a comprehensive guide that helps you pick the best product. We hope that by going through the top 10 best brake rotors for towing reviews below, you can effectively narrow down your choice and find the most appropriate one you need.

• The Hawk Performance Sector 27 Rotor is a more affordable performance rotor. Many other drilled and slotted rotors can run you well over $100 for a single rotor, but Hawk Performance’s Area 27.
• Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotor Kit. The Brake Performance Dimpled and Slotted Brake Kit is engineered to give incredible stopping power over factory rotors while reducing heat, noise, pad fade and brake dust. All slots on our rotors are curved and strategically machined off the edge of the rotor to dramatically improve braking performance up to 30% over factory stock brake rotors.
• Invest in EBC USR rotors to achieve even pad wear and consistent braking every time. Best of all, these EBC Slotted Rotors are backed by a 12-month/10,000-mile warranty.
• Drilled and slotted rotors are brake rotors with holes and slots in them. They’re designed to evacuate the moisture and brake dust generated during braking, facilitate the cooling of your brake disc, and increase your contact friction for superior brake performance.

Brake rotors come in a number of flavors. You often see them vented, drilled, or slotted. Sometimes there's a combination of the three, and it's best to know which works most efficiently for the driving you plan to do. We know one of the biggest enemies of brake performance is heat, so the goal for any of these choices should be cooling your brakes to keep them from fading.

Jason Fenske from Engineering Explained is here to help you decide what kind of brake rotors you should choose.

Most brakes are of the vented variety. These vents help move heat along and keep your brakes in the proper temperature range they prefer to mitigate fading.

Alternatively, you might see drilled rotors on some high-end sports cars. You won't see these rotors on race cars though, as the drilled rotors can become stressed and damaged during the high-stress environment of racing. The reason you see drilled rotors on some sports cars? Honestly, it's because people think they look cool.

Slotted rotors are better for actual heavy-duty performance applications. They're stronger than drilled rotors, and they provide some other advantages as well, such as additional biting surfaces.
