How tight should lug nuts be tightened??
I was having an argument with my son, who barely tightened the lug nuts on my tires, by hand. Is that dangerous? I have to go on a 1,311 mile trip this week…..
There is a thing called a lug-nut wrench with your jack ... you tighten them with that ... most people i know use this to tighten it until they can't turn it anymore ... then, if you need to, they use their foot and body weight to loosen them when necessary ... but ya, finger tight is definitely too loose ...
I would practice yourself, in case you need to change a tire on your trip ...
