Now the season of changing to summer tires are here, what is your experience and knowledge? Anyone had issues with it?

Lube and reduced torque or dry and recomended torque?

Sorry no intention to make people upset, but yes I know this is is very debated! I just wanted some opinions and good points from both sides!

Myself I have always had some kind of anti-sieze or lubrication since we use salt on the roads here, makes life easier with bolts that is not stuck solid.
