I work in a tire shop and according to our system and the annually sent out torque charts from Michelin, say for our vehicle 70-87 but we always go with the max which is 87.

I use 85-90 at the track set with this:
Brown Line Metal Works BLD0212 Digital Torque Wrench : Amazon.com : Automotive

i use 83-85 and re-torque a few times.

on my snap-on traditional torque wrench (twisty handle dial with value etched into the shaft) i need to turn down the dial to the minimum value after use. is that the same way on the digital ones? ive not tried a digital one...

No you do not need to turn down the dial on the Brown Line one on Amazon. It says it on that page listed.

Just a stupid question. If I want to check the torque of the wheel lugnuts, can I do it with 4 wheels on the ground? Or the car needs to be up?

Even though I knew the answer I am glad I clicked on this thread. Just bought these thanks for the link.

This thread was answered in the first 2 posts but yet now has 28 responses you guys need to find better sh!t to talk about instead of the torque of lug nuts.

There is a thread in the general section on toe nail clipping and the proper angle on the clippers,proper force to apply,plus what to do if you draw blood.
