Use just a dab of anti-sieze. If you don't you'll be replacing the studs
and lugnuts often. We have "special needs" given the weekly wheel swaps we
do.

Try to keep the anti-sieze on the threads and keep the contact flanges or
cones of the lugnut clean and dry. And as I found out the hard way, keep
checking the lugnuts on aluminum wheels the first time you put them through
a full heat cycle.
