Tire torque is the twisting force applied to lug nuts when securing wheels to a vehicle. Proper torque values keep wheels tight and prevent vibration or loosening.
- Choose a torque wrench that matches the manufacturer’s specified foot-pound range for your vehicle.
- Check torque after the first 50 miles of driving to confirm lug nuts remain at the correct setting.
- Store the wrench in its case to protect calibration and ensure consistent readings over time.
