I believe the loose lug problem is mainly after you take your wheels off and then remount them like I did when I balanced my tires on my Montana. I have a good Torque wrench and I checked the nuts every 50 miles or so when I left on my trip 2 weeks ago. The first 4 times, the nuts did take some movement to reach 120 ft pounds. The first tightening was quite alarming with some nuts taking almost a flat to click the torque wrench ( a flat is 1/6 of a turn on a hexagon fastener ) They took less and less and now in over 1000 miles, they are staying tight but I still check them. I have the aluminum wheels and I believe they are now set and will stay tight but the 2 minutes it takes to check them is time well spent. If I had the cheap stamped steel wheels, would I still check them..........you bet.
