    The blokes that have bought tyres from on the last few occasions have used a rattle gun, then backed the nuts off and done them up to the corract torque. Can't fault them on that.

    Overtightening can stretch or snap studs and strip studs/nuts. Even slight cases cab become cumulative. That's why you put in new head bolts.
    I have experience wheel loss twice, and that is far more than enough.
