whats the weight i need to tighten it to?

is 80lbs hard to un screw??
after comming back from the mechanic unscrewing my lugs need super man muscles , its so irritating.
after i got my wheels balanced the mechanic tightened my lugs super tight! ... i had to use a cross shaped wrench with my feet to take it off,

does 80lbs take THAT much effort to unscrew??

You shouldn't have to to stand on a lug wrench to loosen your lug nuts.

Having a sweet mustache is half the battle.

80 lb ft torque is good enough. if it was super tite slap your mechanic. make shure they dont tighten it down with a air impact. unless they use torque sticks



usualy the blue ones ate 80lb ft torque for a 19mm lug.
