A floating-caliper disc brake of a utility vehicle includes a brake disc, a brake carrier spanning the brake disc and having lining shafts arranged on both sides of the brake disc, a brake caliper overlapping the brake disc and movable relative to the brake carrier, brake linings arranged on both sides of the brake disc in a lining shaft of the brake carrier, and having a lining carrier plate and a friction lining attached thereto. An application-side brake lining can be pressed against the brake disc by an application device and a reaction-side brake lining can be pressed against the brake disc by a brake caliper back, by moving the brake caliper. The brake caliper can be reset by a resetting device along a wear adjustment path in an axial direction to the axis of rotation of the brake disc. With the same volume of the friction linings in the new condition, the friction lining thickness of the reaction-side brake lining is not the same as the friction lining thickness of the application-side brake lining ().
