Hi, does anyone know how much torque you need to apply to the tyre screws to keep the car running smoothly?...

3k miles on a 315/30R/22

16 inchlbs anymore and it will become a flat.

Are you asking what the tightening torque should be on the lug nuts? If so, I use 90 ft lbs (122 newton meters)

Hi, thanks for this and for taking the time to send me the detail. I do appreciate that.

Alas, no, I was being facetious. I was talking about the screw buried in the middle of my tyre.

Ouch. With it being on the main tread it should be repairable if it hasn't gone flat.
