1 Wheel Bolts problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2021

Replaced tires back in oct 2021; tire shop reported to me that the lug nuts were severely stripped and needed to be replaced; if I ever had a flat, I wouldn’t be able to get them off and that the individual installing them had to hammer most of them loose. Replaced the lug nuts. Ironically, the following day (as is my luck), I ended up with a flat. Glad I had replaced them.
