I put some GT wheels and tires on my car about 5k miles ago.

Am I correct in assuming they are not directional and all I need to do is swap the fron and back tires?

Thanks...

A torque wrench, really? I get mine pretty tight, never used a torque wrench for that.

Be careful to do it evenly. There is a possiblity of warping the rotors especially if they are hot.
Manual does recommend a torque wrench.

Well i tighten them slowly, every other nut. I snug them first, then tighten, then once more around to make sure.

the torque wrench gives you the right amount needed,, to screw the lug nuts, they are much better than the powered equipment that can over screw the nuts and with time damage the lug nuts. (the drill like tool that is used to tighten)
