ive broken a couple studs this year.. they get bent and then break. I have a torque wrench and use at 80lbs. We change tires out 3 times a month sometimes.

Is it a bad habit to change the tires out when they are really hot?
Maybe its the lug nuts we are using on the wheels.
noticed its only been in the front. never broke a rear stud

Any ideas, help much appreciated

 

i know im not the only one breaking studs here.....

 

I use ARP wheel studs with Autozone lug nuts and have had no problems. I have aluminum racing wheels and torque them to 80ftlb.

 

use some anti-sieze compound found at any auto parts store
