Friendly, bought 5 tires here. Had 3 mounted, they found 2 cracks in right front rim. Got new rim, had 4th tire mounted there the following week. Also bought new tire to replace spare, as it was dry rotted. About 2 weeks later, turned corner into alley behind house and heard banging and clanking coming from right front rim. Found 2 of 8 lug bolts snapped off and 4 more backed out several flats to several threads. The last 2 were barely more than finger tight. Took wheel off and inspected rim, lugs, and bolts. Took video of initial findings to Snyder. They told me lugs were probably stressed, and caused the lug nuts to back off by themselves. Said they weren't responsible at all. Said they torqued them to 150 ft. Lbs.I So i bought new lugs, lug bolts. Replaced and tested old bolts. 2 were snapped during slow speed turn. Others were not stretched or stressed. New rim has wear around lug holes and a few thousands around center hub. I checked torque of other 3 wheels. All were torqued to 150 ft. Lbs. From now on i will check them as i get home from any service that requires wheel removal.
