[Weasel Soup]

I've had two failures last year. Both were on the front, when taking tires off during preparations/tire changes for RallyCross duty. The first happened on the passenger front and had to be broken off. The second was about a month later at the next event. The lug nut stripped and destroyed the stud in the removal process.

At that point I stopped using the factory lug nuts with some parts store "spline drive" lug nuts. I'd had the car for less that 1.5 years and fewer than 20k miles. I'd wager to guess it was less than 50 tire changes.

Other than the two replacement studs, I'm still on the stock studs and that first set of replacement nuts. The nuts are starting to show signs of aging and might get replaced before I upgrade to track rubber before going out onto High Plains Raceway next spring. Might as well replace all the studs for peace of mind while I'm at it...
