Ive often wondered how they come up with these numbers. Why not 75? Also how do they figure out the #...my wife's Equinox is 125, my Subaru Outback was really low..like 65.

I always retorque the lugs to 76 after I have the tires rotated. If the lugs are tightened to much or uneven, it can cause the rotors to warp and vibrate when braking.

Still, I suppose the torque stick is better than the monkey with the air ratchet....zzzzt...zzzzt...zzzt. oh, what the hell....zzzzzzzzzzzt, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt.....lug nut torqued to near failure.

I did 80lbs, should i loosen them up a bit? It's a nice change breaking loose 80ft/lb lugs, I can do this with the regular ratchet but on my truck theyre at 120lbs and i literally have to stand on the ratchet and bounce to get them off.

You are within the margin of error.

I see that the recommended torque is between 70~80 ft-lbs on 12 x 1.5 mm lugs. I should dial down and lock my Torque wrench to 76.
Ok then.
