The tire nuts produced by Xiaoguo® are hexagonal nut with a flange and a cylinder. The hexagonal shape faces outward and the cylinder faces inward for installation, which is convenient for tightening and loosening.
Tire nut can prevent the wheels from shaking or falling off during driving. Cheap or worn nuts may peel off, rust or crack, thereby causing accidents. Please be sure to use nuts that match the thread size and seat ring type of your vehicle.
When driving in the snow, tire nuts will be corroded by road salt. If the nut is stuck, soak it in penetrating oil (such as WD-40) before loosening it. Avoid using grease as it can absorb dirt and wear the threads.
Tire nut is fasteners that connect the wheels to the hubs of cars, trucks or any other vehicles. These nuts can withstand great pressure. When driving, tires are subjected to various forces such as acceleration, braking and turning. The tire nut must remain firm throughout the process. Tire nut come in different sizes and thread types depending on the vehicle.
Small vehicles may use smaller tire nuts with finer threads, while large trucks require larger and heavier tire nut. Their shape is usually hexagonal, which makes it easy to tighten or loosen them with a standard wrench or socket. If the nuts do not function properly, your tires may become loose, which is a very dangerous situation on the road.
Install tire nuts,first, tighten it by hand to avoid misscrewing the threads. Then use a torque wrench to tighten it according to the vehicle specifications. It is speculated that this might cause the wheels to loosen or the studs to break. Tighten in a star shape (rather than clockwise) to evenly distribute the pressure. For alloy wheels, please use soft sleeves to avoid scratches.
