Lug:nuts put on to specification when tires replaced. Within 1 month front driver tire almost came off due to loose nuts. Mechanic tightened to specification. Ith 1 month both front tires almost fell off on freeway due to loose nuts. Called mitsubshi motors. They suggested I have them replaced by dealer since they are custom nuts, at my expense.
