Did they do a final tightening with a torque wrench or just tighten with an air gun?  Finding folks that know how to work with bud wheels correctly is getting harder all the time. Of the tire shops I have dealt with in the Spokane WA area, the Good Year Commercial Tire Center is the only one that I have seen regularly torque all lug nuts without being asked to. Glad to see that you are on the road again.

I don't think so but they put new nuts on so they should have realized if they were stretched.

How would they know? Airguns solve every tire knob's problem...

Gary, you need a maintenance supervisor.

When are you posting for the job?

happy coaching!

     That sounds like good news, but an air gun doesn't care if the threads are in good shape or not.  I hope you'll be fine.
