Proper Torque settings for Mazda 5

I have read that in the manual, but I wish they would would be more specific and give a definite number instead of a range.
 
(lurk) Are you using a torque wrench to tighten your lugs?

if it were me, I'd just tighten till my face turned red (flash) ... 86 pounds is a LOT

so pick the average then. 76 ft-lbs. It's doesn't have to be precise, as long as it is enough to keep the wheel from coming off, and not too much as to break the stud.
 
They give you a range so that overly technical/paranoid people won't spend three hours trying to get one lug to 78.15 ft/lbs.
