...the green things on each of the lug nuts holding this tire on? Back when my dad was logging I changed tires on his semi’s and trailers every weekend, and we never had anything like this on the lug nuts. So what’s it for?



Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

I'm just glad to see somebody use "loose" properly.

I work on fork lifts for a living and have seen people take a permanent marker that is easily visible and put a straight line across each lug nut and the wheel so they can see if they start to back their selves off the stud. I have also seen those on semi's and wondered what the purpose of them was.

They set them in a certain direction so they can just walk around and look. If one is out then they check that lug.

How many loose lug nuts would cause a problem on a wheel like that? I know I had a truck missing one out of 5 for several years and it never caused a problem.

On a big truck it causes a $ problem if the DOT sees it.
