Default Are rim screws reusable?

I'm going to pick up my tires tomorrow and have them mounted to my rims. They have rims screws in them and of course they have to come out for the current tires to come off. Will I be able to reuse them or do I need to order/buy new ones?

Yes, the wheels will strip long before the screws do... Use them again!

I used the same rim screws on a few sets of tires and never had any issues.

You know, I've thought about this for quite awhile today... I've decided that this may really be the stupidest topic ever posted in this section. <shakes head>

I like how you said "stupidest" to describe how stupid the topic was!

I've reused mine at least 8 times to date and all is well.


And yes you just might qualify for an award/prize or something

Are they TTY rim screws? If so, they cannot be reused. I would go with studs.
