I used to know an HGV fitter of many years service - he always gave lug bolts a thin smear of Copaslip before torquing them up.It spent ages re painting my alloy wheels . So if i need new tires i remove each wheel, one at a time outside the tire shop , and have the old tire removed and a new tire fitted. And i know i will open a can of worms with this - but i grease every one of my lug bolts . And this way i have never had problems removing any of my wheels in 50 years . I do it ,,you dont have to .
