When removing car tires, should the screws be turned clockwise or counterclockwise?

Left-side wheel bolts typically use common right-hand threads, meaning tightening occurs by rotating the bolt or nut clockwise. Right-side car wheel bolts, less commonly, may use left-hand threads, where tightening requires counterclockwise rotation. Here's relevant information about car tires: Functions of tires: Support the vehicle's entire weight, bear the car's load, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; transfer traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's power, braking, and passability; work with the car's suspension to mitigate impacts during driving; Tire lifespan: A tire's lifespan depends on various factors such as climate, road conditions, driving habits, installation, maintenance, etc. According to international regulations, if used normally, tires must be replaced when the tread depth wears down to 1.6 millimeters.
