That is a feature. I never let the tire store touch my disk-wheeled
Spridgets, either. They have no "torque stick" for anything like a
Spridget and will have a tendency to either bend or break studs for
you. They do not believe you when you tell them the torque value
should be 44 to 46 pound-feet. Much easier to hand them a set of loose
wheels from the back of my OTM.
