Changing to winter tires soon and was curious how much torque should be applied for the lugnuts. Anyone?

Thanks!

65-87 ft lb for the naturally aspirated 6's. I would think yours would be the same.

90 should still be OK. If too tight you can warp the disc brakes.

ya, discount tire........the guys who snapped 3 of the 5 studs on my Impala when i took it there to have a flat fixed, and cross threaded the other two.
they'd sure be high on my list of people who's advice i follow.

the manual lists 87ft/lbs for the Madza6 wheel studs.

The correct torque for OEM lug studs are 75-80 lbft. Anything more will damage the threads and will need to be repalce prematurely.
