Torque on Lug Nuts

All lug nuts should be retorqued after about 50 miles. eg: car, truck, or motor home! Anytime a garage has done mine, I have had to sign a form agreeing to return for the retorque.

I have had my Tradewinds since 2004 and have had two prior sets of Michelins installed and traveled over 70,000 miles and never had to retorque my lug nuts. Last Nov I couldn't find any Michelins in my area and had Continentals installed by a local Tire outfit. Now after just under 2000 miles it appears that the lug nuts on one of my duels is loose. Never had this happen on any of my RV's in over 40 years.

Might have way over torque them to start with.

As stated, before every trip and weekly. Found one every so often that has loosen. Just purchase a new vehicle and had to stop on the hi-way with the sale man riding along and tighten almost all the nut. Service was not happen neither was sales or the owner of dealer ship.

I would look more to the tire outlet than the actual tires in this case. That being said I'm sure there's a reason manufacturers and tire shops recommend rechecking the torque after a wheel has been removed and reinstalled.

Yes, though it was on my Suburban .

Yes, I have my own torque wrench and cheater bar.
Also do it prior to trips and then weekly while on long trips.
