I thought this should go in the Wheel & Tire section but this has only happened on my yeti so i put it here.

Yesterday after 2 packs my wheel nuts were loose. I tightened them back down and on the 4th pack they were loose again. I did a little research and there are some wheel nuts with serrations that are supposed to solve the problem but that is on plastic wheels. I don't want to mar up my VP methods plus i don't think it will work. Do you guys have this problem and if not, what wheel nuts are you running?

Wheels & Tires:
VP Methods
VP Hubs
Voodoo Golds
Non Flange Wheel Nut. Regular old Nylon
 
I have had the best luck using a small 1/4" drive ratchet, you can get them a lot tighter than a nut driver.
 
+1 for the ratchet method. No threadlock needed. The little 4-way wrench just won't cut it. Stock nylock nuts on slw hubs.
 
Thanks for all the tips guys. I have been using a nut driver but i will give the 1/4" Ratchet a go.
