Tire shops using impact guns and tightening lugs to 200+ ft lbs stretching the stud and it snapping when removed because the threads no longer match from the stretch. Time to replace a wheel stud on Friday....

LOL Emeyi, I'm up for another run soon. Greddy emanage is on it's way. I'm lowering my vtec to 4500 luls. Also switched back to Ap1 16's so I'm saving quite a bit of weight! Hope you're ready for another!

David, whenever you find them. I might be buying my pair from Andy since he's replacing all the tires.
