Swapping to Winter Tires?

Sorry for the dumb question (I've never swapped out tires before).....

I just ordered a set of winter tires/rims. They did not come with any nuts (the things that keep the tires on the car).

Can I use the same nuts that are on the summer tires when I go to swap them out?

Don't.....

Find your nuts, then go back to the seller and get some wheelnuts!

Seriously, the stock nuts are very shallow, in all likelyhood they won't tighten down enough - I ordered a winter package from Talon Tire in Quebec, and they arrived with no nuts, even though the package stated 'with'. They were great about it, expressed me a set, and they are WAY different, much deeper/longer than stock.

Don't attempt it without your nuts! Even if you have to get them from whoever mounts the wheels.

hmmm...

I ordered my tires from Talon as well.

I just spoke with John at Talon tire.
He told me that using the stock nuts are 100% OK. They tested it out.

Not sure who to believe now... =(
