Re: More wheel or More sidewall
tjts1: thanks for the feed-back, I had not considered the weight issue, I was thinking of the larger circumference, and the extra umph it takes getting that rolling. But the main reason I like the 15's is a more flexible sidewall, that is if the tread stays on the street

Re: More wheel or More sidewall
Matt, points well absorbed But your comfort increases as your sidewall increases (as your roads' potholes increase as your local government's road maintenance budget decreases ). A taller sidewall is more able to absorb bumps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------that...

Re: OK, this time I'm serious...
Well, my brake fluid leak is actually the fluid pressure sensor on the lower left side of the master cyl. as you look at it from the oil dip stick. Does that just spin off?.....got a gasket or o-ring? Is this a fairly common problem?
