Recently, upon buying a replacement tyre I was asked what torque I'd like on
the wheel nuts. Now although I've used the same suppliers for many years and
with the same vehicle, I'd not been asked this before and had to consult the
car manual.
I've since pondered the question further for although the wheels are the
originals, the fixing nuts are after market stainless steel items.
For the experts among you could I ask for your observations. I'm inclined to
think the original torque would apply, however I've been wrong before:-)
