wheel nuts
Hold tires on
Wheel nuts are the fasteners that secure a vehicle's wheels to its axle hubs.
They thread onto wheel studs and must be tightened to specific torque specifications to prevent wheels from loosening during driving.
Also called lug nuts in American English.
Check your wheel nuts after getting new tires fitted.
