2012 RAM. IMMACULATE CONDITION. LESS THAN 50000 MILES. HAD THE TIRES REPLACED TWO DAYS AGO. TIRE DEALER HAD TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTY REMOVING THE LUG NUTS, AND EVEN GREATER DIFFICULTY PUTTING THEM BACK ON. SEEMS THE LUG NUTS ARE MADE OF TWO PIECES. THE 'COLLAR' IS SEPARATING FROM THE THREADED PART AND MOISTURE IS GETTING INSIDE OF IT. THIS IS CAUSING THE LUG NUT TO SWELL UP, THUS THE AIR GUN DOESN'T FIT OVER THE LUG NUT. THE TECHNICIAN HAD TO LITERALLY HAMMER THE TORQUE WRENCH ON TO THE LUG NUT. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS, SHOULD I GET A FLAT TIRE, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS BY HAND.
THE LUG NUTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND I AM OF THE OPINION THAT DODGE SHOULD PROVIDE ME WITH ANOTHER SET OF LUG NUTS.
