How much torque should be set for a tire lug wrench?
1 Answers
The torque for car tire lug nuts is generally around 100-120 Newton meters. It's not true that the tighter the lug nuts are, the better. Over-tightening can easily cause stretching of the tire threads or even lead to cracks. Additionally, there is a specific tightening sequence principle when tightening tire lug nuts. Below is more information about tire lug nut torque: 1. Different vehicle models require different torque values: The specific value depends on what is indicated in the manual (in N), but some modern vehicles use bolts instead of traditional nuts, which should require less torque. 2. Hazards of improper tire lug nut torque: The most immediate risk is the possibility of a wheel being thrown off due to sudden bolt failure.
