Anti-  Seize on lug nuts or bolts? Now there's a recipe for  disaster.

Denis, I don't often find the need to disagree with  your vast invaluable
knowledge but I have been using anti-seize on all my  wheel lug bolts & nuts and
all my customer's wheel lug bolts  & nuts for many years now and have
encountered absolutely no  disasters.  Only wheel nuts & bolts that never seize in
place.   Properly torqued they will be as they should, staying in place keeping
your  wheels on the your van.
