Soon, drivers across the country will prepare to install winter tires on their vehicles. CTVNews.ca spoke to those in the auto-care industry on whether retorquing is needed and how to stay safe when driving.
Soon, drivers across the country will pull out their dusty winter tires to throw on their vehicles before the snow arrives.
The Canadian Automobile Association said in a statement that most unintended wheel separations while driving are caused by a fastener failure, or when the lug nuts or bolts holding the wheel in place come loose. A spokesperson added that TDAC works with the U.S.-based Tire Industry Association, which has done studies and worked with tire manufacturers on when retorques should take place.
Lawrence told CTVNews.ca in a telephone interview on Tuesday that there is no harm in doing a second retorque. "But even if it's just a light sanding or a light cleaning of the surfaces, sometimes they're very heavily corroded if wheels haven't been off in several years, and then it becomes a bigger task to get them cleaned. But that is the sole reason that we've seen any wheels that come loose or come off," he said.
Chris Reynolds, field expert and vice-president of advertising at Canada Drives, said retorquing would help if a couple days after getting a tire change the temperature drops dramatically or a driver goes over a hard bump, both of which could affect a vehicle's lug nuts.
