True statement, fasteners are cheap, but the labor to replace all the wheel studs on a vehicle every couple years? Holy carp! Be financially advantageous to never rotate your tires or just trade it in when your alarm clock says replace perfectly good wheel studs.
I will give you this, I've had a couple vehicles that the lug nutz basically wore out.
Haven't replaced a lug stud in idk how many years and those broke due to rust or a bad/loose wheel.
I replace them myself. The studs are fairly cheap. Just take the car to the race shop and do the work there. Can usually get one of the other guys to help. Don't think I would change them regularly if I had to pay the $160/hour shop rates.
Tires don't get rotated on the MH. When I put new tires on it (well, had commercial truck place do the work) I measured the length on all the studs and only found 1 that was longer than the rest. I had them replace just that one. Quick easy check with caliper while they were mounting tires on rims.
