It's not just retreads that separate. Any tire that's not correctly inflated and overloaded will.

Safety Dance posted:That happened to a friend of mine's RX7. I passed a car that had broken down in lane 3 of 5 lane Interstate and thought, "That looks like Chris's car!". Then I looked at the guy standing at the side of the road and thought, "That looks like Chris!" Who actually does that? I've never seen anyone do anything other than tighten them with a tire iron in a cross pattern.

kastein posted:I'll be honest, I put the 4-way on mine and crank the motherfuck out of them. I do use the proper star pattern though. They're on and off the truck so often they never have half a chance of getting seized between removals, and I've never had a wheel come loose, except that one time where I wasn't careful to get all the grime off a wheel mounting surface after dropping a drum face down on a wet dirt road. Even then, I figured out what was going on well before the wheel fell off, and it wasn't really the fault of my torquing procedure, if it's worth calling that. Same. When i tighten a lug nut, they STAY tightened. (Read: Stir welded together.)
