You shouldn't really be taking the disc bolts in and out every time you change the tyres. They are lock tighted as standard and although I admit I don't replace it when I"ve changed discs I do make sure they are done up properly. Steel bolts into alloy wheels will wear the threads each time the bolts go in and out so best left alone if possible.
