The tire stores are the worst. Zip at hi speed on dry threads, asking for galls and seizures. Most have never had splaied how a thread actally works.
My bud has shop next to a tire store, was a constant source of seized nuts.

Sounds painful. :lol_hitti

We are legaly obligated to use a specified torque on any fastner the OEM mandates in our workshop. However we also use common sense. If it is a saftey critical fastner then there is no question. In fact our torque wrenches are calibrated every 6 months.
