In this case, the set I installed a year or so ago was tight, as you will see some side spring wear in the second set of the picture. It seems to me the soft steel and grade 5 bolts are just not enough for the design. I can't speak for how tight the originals were, but I hope I'm good now, at least for another 5 years. Perhaps I should replace them every time I replace tires, but I don't replace tires because of wear, but because of crappy trailer tire design.
