They are all too soft and strip and get stuck in my impact and torque wrenches.

Screw trying to save the couple of grams they weigh. Unless someone has a recommendation for a good one

you are saving weight on lug nuts?

That's just worthless. rotating mass matters the further it is from the center of rotation.

I'd bank that your tire wearing has more of a performance impact then lighter lug nuts

Uh, that's why you don't use them with impact wrenches? I've never had a problem.

I'm spoiled by them. It feels like it takes a lot longer using my breaker bar. Hehe

But they were also getting stuck in my torque wrench when tightening
