Wheel Nut Torque
Posted by Erwin from NANJING, OT, CN on October 27, 2007
What is the specified torque for a wheel nut of a 11R22.5 OR 295/75R22.5 heavy truck tire wheel?
I don't know if you have steel or aluminum, hub piloted or stud piloted wheels. To be safe, you should checked the website for the brand and type of wheels you are running. I check one manufacturer's website and found a chart that gave wheel nut torques for the various wheels that they make. If you are still confused, contact the manufacturer through their website.

Can I use vaseline as tire mounting lubricant?
Tire mounting lubricants should be vegetable oil or animal fat based. Petrolium oil based products (like Vaseline) are not recommended by Goodyear or other members of the tire or wheel industry.
