Re: TireRack A4 Winter Package
2 possible issues - If you are changing your own tires/wheels over to winter tires, are you finding rusty wheel hubs? This is after just 10,000 kms. Is this a concern?
Second one is an observation regarding torquing of lug nuts. In my case the 5th
lug nut on each wheel, the one with the anti-theft design, had not been torqued correctly. It was way too tight, which says to me that it was put on after the others with an impact gun, not a torque wrench. On a nice flat driveway it doesn't really matter. The garage is full of things to use as lug nut wrench extenders. Not so at the side of some hwy, close to the ditch, -20 weather.
Check your torque.
