We don't need to tell you that appropriate tires can make all the difference for your INFINITI. But consider this: the components that attach your tires are crucial, as well. Wheel lug nuts are intended to securely hold your tires to the drivetrain system (the wheels and axles) of your INFINITI. While that might seem simple, these small lug nuts should be properly tightened to a precise torque level to safeguard against premature wear and tear to your wheels and braking system.
Each small (but super strong!) Wheel Lug Nut on the wheels of your INFINITI can help support the weight of each tire and allow it to roll with maximum efficiency on the road.
If a Wheel Lug Nut is absent, bent, or not tightened correctly, you could be unknowingly wearing down or harming your tires or the metal wheels on your INFINITI. A lug nut that isn't tight enough could lead to an unstable tire rolling motion (and low fuel efficiency), but an over-tightened nut may jam your tire into a brake rotor that's close by, leading to a compromised or warped rotor over time. If a Wheel Lug Nut breaks or goes missing during a severe blowout or other tire emergency, you likely won't be able to attach your spare tire without that nut. As such, it would be wise to stash an additional Wheel Lug Nut or two in your tire kit just in case you have a damaged or missing lug nut.
It is possible to replace your INFINITI's Wheel Lug Nut on your own, but remember that every lug nut must be tightened to the appropriate torque with a specialty tool called a torque wrench. It's vital that you have the proper tools and auto know-how before you try to adjust or install a Wheel Lug Nut. Consult the owner's manual that came with your INFINITI to determine the ideal torque level for your specific vehicle.
