Wheel torque.

I have taken to removing my wheels and delivering them to the tire store
of choice and then reinstalling myslef to ensure proper torque.

Unfortunately no matter which tire dealer I pick and the promises they make about hand torque, inevitabley the newbie or lazy expert uses an air wrench
putting on wheels (when they think they can get away with it).

I split a Craftsman socket removing a wheel that my local tire dealer
installed. Socket is free to replace, but that is not the point.

I don't trust them to do the job they are paid to do.

Sad.
