Good point....at my last DE I did notice that ( I think?) the nuts seemed loose after a few hot runs, but if you tighten them (hot) at that point....and then let them cool down to where they were tight before..you now have an "overtight" condition. If you take them off at that time, I've heard you can do some real damage.
Is that your understanding of how it gets that way ???

I'd heard that you shouldn't tighten the alloy ones when they were for that reason (over tightened). I don't know if that is a contributing factor to the lug stripping situation though.
I switched to the "nuts of steel"
a long time ago. I don't recall having any problems removing them hot but that could just be my poor memory or the fact that I pretty much left my wheels alone between runs.
