I was switching out of my winters over the weekend and noticed that on my front driver's side wheel, the lug nuts weren't coming off smoothly...on the other three wheels, i just had to loosen them a bit and then I could pretty much spin them off with a flick of my fingers. The front one for some reason wasn't as smooth coming off the 5 studs. Thought nothing of it finished switching the other wheels but then decided to take it off again just to take a closer look at the studs.

Studs looked ok, wasn't shiny looking like the other three wheels were but the nuts were threading in properly. I did have a hard time removing the wheel again for some reason after i took off all the nuts the second time, had to kick at it pretty hard. This was just after shifting the car a foot or so after just installing my all season sets.

I don't think any cross threading happened, this is the first time i've switched from winters on this car and 2nd time the tires have been switched in this car's lifetime.

Is this something to worry about? Should i put something on the studs to make sure the lugs come off with ease the next time i switch to winters?
