Default Noob Question Inside....

I recently aquired a set of tires and wheels from a fellow Audiworld memeber who was running them on his car.

My question is, other then checking air pressure, is there anything I need to do prior to or immediately after mounting them? Or is it mount, tighten to specs (which btw are?), and drive.

Thanks in advance...

Default First - be sure you have the correct wheel bolts. - You just can't interchange them

because the length and seating can vary.

You need to torque the bolts - and the settings can vary. I think my 95 Audi 90 is 80lbs and my A4 is 89 ft-lbs.

I use antisieze on my threads - to prevent them from rusting on. But there are people who say it is not correct to do so.
