Importance of Wheel nut torque
Wheel nut's torque can be varied due to seasonal temperature change.
[Max. 30% difference of torque by season]
Improperly(over the proper torque) tightened wheel nut can cause various problems
and threaten safety in high-speed driving.
[Rolling, vibration and unbalancing of handle, biased tire wearing, increase
of fuel consumption]
Wheel unbalance might be caused by improperly tightened wheel nut.
[Unnecessary wheel alignment maycause severe damage to the vehicle.]
Tire is assembled by highly precise and computerized torque wrench(approx.
USD1.0mil) in the factory because the torque of wheel nut is so critic to the
safety.
[Randomly tightened wheel nut in a tire shop not equipped with computerized
torque wrench might cause critical safety problem]
Wheel nut may be severely damaged by repeated improper tire assemblies in a
tire shop not equipped with computerized torque wrench.
[Wheel nut might be broken during driving]
