Is it necessary to retorque lug nuts after tire change?

Yes, it is often recommended to retorque lug nuts after a tire change. This practice ensures that the lug nuts remain properly tightened after the initial settling period. When wheels are installed, the lug nuts might loosen slightly due to vibrations and the seating of the wheel against the hub. Retorquing the lug nuts after driving a short distance (typically around 50 to 100 miles) helps maintain the correct torque and ensures the wheels are securely attached, reducing the risk of them coming loose while driving. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines and torque specifications.
