Hello Pros
I own a 1997 Dodge Stratus(base model) with 97,000 miles. It CURRENTLY HAS 14" tires and aftermarket rims(on the car at time of purchase). I'm shopping at tirerack. Com for new tires and wheels(rims). Ive been told by some that it is better to go to a 15"tire/wheel. Im looking at 15x7 size wheels(JSA rims) and 195/65HR15 tires(Michelin Pilot Exalto). Will those fit on my car with no problem? I just want to take the 4 14"s off and put those on instead. They will come mounted and balanced already so it will be like changing four tires, yet I want to make sure the 15 set is allowed and will fit on my car. Tirerack. Com lists the 15" tires as option original equipment for my model, but I dont want a salesmans opinion, I want a professionals. Thanks guys.[/B]

Some disc brake pads will come with a "sensor". This is a small piece of metal that will scrape the rotor when the brake pad friction material gets low and needs to be changed. Does the sound quit when the brakes are applied?

Good luck and let us know.

Yes the sound definitely stops when the brakes are applied. Also, it seems to depend on the type of driving I'm doing, because its a lot softer when I'm going uphill or I am on a highway going at a decent speed then it is on local roads.
