Winter Rim Question
I swapped out the summer sneakers for the winter ones this morning.
Is it not advisable to leave the centers naked? I would think so. What do I cover them with ? |

Either WD-40 or duct tape. That pretty much covers everything.
Or move to Florida where your car will be submerged in a hurricane flood and you will no longer have to worry about silly things like winter tires. |

I dunno. I dropped it off to get inspected, so I didn't see it yet.
Black Flexseal spray might actually be a good idea though. I laughed at Cyber's suggestion, but the more I think about it, that just might have worked. I just wonder if it will hold in the water and how difficult it would be to remove when it is time to change out for the spring. |

All you need is something to keep it from corroding. A light coat of grease
on the back of the rim would have been fine. |

link: http://www.tirereview.com/its-really...bout-lug-nuts/ "There is a great deal of argument is whether to lubricate lug threads. Some swear by the use of some form of anti-seize on the threads, whether lithium grease, WD-40, motor oil or Teflon spray. The idea is to prevent rust and make it easier when it comes time to remove the lugs. Others recoil in horror, saying that lubing the threads will iresult in overtorqued nuts, or that the lubrication will cause the nuts to work themselves loose. Manufacturers, engineers and other industry experts seem to unanimously oppose using lubrication. On the other hand, some customers, DIYers and self-appointed Internet forum experts claim to have used thread lube since the very dawn of time with nary a problem. My own opinion is more nuanced. I disapprove of lubricating threads in general, unless they are badly rusted. Most lug bolts and lug studs are coated with a substance intended to prevent rust, but certain makes and models seem to be much more vulnerable to rust than others (I’m looking at you, Volvo). In that case I can see applying a small amount of lubricant to prevent further corrosion, but only after carefully cleaning the rust off the threads with a wire brush. In most cases, however, I would simply ensure that the threads are clean and not bother with lubrication. If you do apply lubricant, make sure to do so carefully and only to the threads. Never allow any lubricant on the mating surfaces of the nut or the lughole of the wheel. Much of the “stickiness” brought about by proper torque comes not from the threads but from the contact between mating surfaces. Even a thin film of oil between those surfaces can create a hydraulic barrier, preventing proper torque from being applied. This can also make it easier for the nut to work itself loose. Either way, it’s always best to get that customer to return in two weeks to check the lug nuts for tightness if any lubricants are used. Well, thus ends this month’s sermon. Now get out there and go nuts! This article appeared in the April 2014 edition of Tire Review. " |
