Tightening Motorhome Lugs

Does anybody have to tighten the lugs on their motorhome? I noticed today that I have several that are coming loose. My motorhome is as seen in my signature below. I am going to take it back to TCI Tires who put the new tires on last year. Since then I have run about 14,000 miles.

    You should always tighten the wheel lug nuts with a torque wrench. If you take it to your tire shop ask them if they use a torque wrench. If they say yes ask them what they torque them to. If they do not use a torque wrench find a tire shop that does. Properly tightend wheels should never come loose..

    The lug nuts on the W22 and W24 22.5" wheels require 475 lb. ft. torque!

    Apparently TCI Tires under torqued them.
