    Good news!
    It is but I am the kind of person that wants to now why the studs sheared off. When I pulled the tire out of the woods the dust cover was still on. When I popped it off every broken stud with the nuts were still in the holes on the rim. Lug nuts were loose. I did notice that 2 studs were broke some time again. They were a little discolored. 3 were fresh breaks.

    If 2 were previously broken, it over-stresses the remaining studs. Then add in the torque from normal driving. If the nuts were loose, the forces compound.

    There are 5 on the wheel for a reason. 3 will not do it.
    2 may have been broked the last time the wheel was off or over torqued with an impact at that time causing stress fracture,
