Driving with four wheel studs/ lugs...

I was putting on my summer wheels and managed to break a stud on the right front. Is it okay to drive this way just for a little while... maybe 15 miles on the freeway? I would think it would be - I'm not going to try any land speed records or lateral G records, but just cruising so I can go get the parts...

Yeah, this one is straight forward. Replace it soon, make sure the others are plenty tight (not too tight). If you have a torq wrench it would be a good idea to make sure their just right. I have seen people go years with 4 out of 5. (But don't recommend it)
