okie I really dunno what else to name this topic... but today i got my tires changed and had the winters put on... it's my first set of steelies on the Trixy... but I noticed as I got out of the car after my drive home.. I touched the lug nuts for osme reason and found it to be HOT.... but the rears were fine... I was wondering is this normal as in just heat transfer from the disc or is it not normal???

another question is I dunno if anyone here has had it before or yet,... but does your blower fan make a squeeky sound in the lowest settling in the cold????

eh~ I occasionally get squeely noises from the blower system. my cars old enough where the foam insulation around the vents gates break off, so air can woosh though. So if they're close a little it whistles. probably not your problem though. P:

heat is from the brakes, perfectly normal.....

unlesss you don't brake when you are driving.

I think that the squeak may be a sign of your blower fan starting to die

and...........stop touching you nuts!

I'm surprised you didn't say that xr2003!

Are both front wheel lug nuts hot, or just the one side?

Yep normal, mine do that. I have a question tho, why exactly were you touching the lugs in the first place? I don't know anyone that does that on a regular basis...

eeerrr..... I really don't know... actually it wasn't on a regular basis... it was jsut that one time... I just got my first set of winter tires installed and then when I got home... I parked and just touched the lugs.. maybe I was jsut checking if it was on tight...
