Quote: Draw your own conclusions based on this. I use Permatex Copper on my lug nuts and torque to original spec as indicated in Permatex's instructions. Even have aluminum rims. 30,000 KM that way and no issues.
....what the hell is this 'KM' you mention? Damn metrics funny people!

Relevant to the thread, I've used anti-seize on my wheel studs and rotor face since I bought my Jeep. No issue, but much interesting info has been shared here.

I've used it for over three decades, sparingly.
I have yet to kill a busload of nuns, or an elementary school soccer team returning from a championship win.

Use common sense, that's the real key here, if you don't have any, put the damn wrenches down ... You are merely minutes away from running over a single mom with triplets, in the dead of winter.

Ok, I'll weigh in as pro anti-seize. Been using it in very small amounts about every third time I pull the wheels. In the snow belt, the exposed studs tend to take a beating from road salt. The anti-seize just keeps things turning. I also have yet to take out a bus load of nuns.

And when you think of it, where could you take them anyway?

Midnight mass. A little of that communion wine and they loosen up a bit.
