11 months old and wheel lugs were not tight

[mitdr774]

I have never had to retorque a wheel. The few times I checked for S&Gs the nuts had held torque.

I go back after a hundred miles and those times I stand and watch it seems they need no additional tightening. Just takes a moment of time and a stop at the tire shop.

And if you can't loosen them with a wrench you are either:

1. A total wuss.
2. Tightening them because you are a moron.

I assume this is response is to me.

The answer is negative to both.

I think it was directed at the person stating that if you dont have to jump on the tire iron to loosen the nuts, they are not tight enough.

No, not at all.

It was purely informational for that 16 1/2 year old kid who is bound to read this thread at some point. Or that blonde, who decides one day to try to work on her car for no reason even she can recall.

Just a PSA, that's all.
