No, but it CAN screw them on so hard you will never get them off with a regular tire wrench. - On the chance of a roadside puncture that can be a bad scene !

First keep the car on the ground and in park so it wont move. Then get the tire wrench and turn the lugs counter clock wise to remove. Is it to tight to turn? Then you have to do what a ol auto shop teacher taught me. Go get a bigger wrench. Still tough? Then go get a leverage pipe or a bigger wrench. Or both. THey will come off.

How do you change a tire on a 2009 Toyota Sienna?

Break lugs loose with lug wrench, jack up car by frame or a arm, remove lugs& put new tire on. Spin on lugs hand tight. Lower wheel just enough to keep from spinning, but not all the way. This will allow slight wheel movement inwards to fully seat. Torque lugs to spec. with torque wrench. You may be able to find your specs online or search similar car. If 7/16 studs, go to 80#. Drop car & double check pressure new tire.

They attach the lugs to the wheels themselves with a glue-like substance before the pit stop. That way, all they have to do is hold up the wheel and hit the lug with an impact wrench and the lug is on.

How do i replace stripped lugs on infinity i30?

I would take it back to the tire shop that used the air wrench on it and insist they repair it. Those guys are notorious for overtightening with the air wrench, rather than torqueing to the proper specification. Overtighterning also tends to warp the brake rotors, giving you pulsating brakes. Of course, if you overtightened the lugs yourself, ignore this message.
