Well, not all of us have a "fair handle on our strength"... Did you really say that? Dafuq does that even mean?
Although I agree with you: I've never used my torque wrench to change tires. I'm betting at least 80% of humans don't.
However, since the OP asked a specific question, I figured I'd answer that rather then tell him he's doing it wrong. Sometimes you just don't need to reply at all, bro.
It means Ive torqued enough things to similar levels as lug nuts to know what sensible feels like. Would i trust myself on main caps? No. But wheel lugs, where your dealer just typically wails on it with an air wrench? Sure.
Thing is...do you know if the torque spec is wet or dry? If dry, is it degreased, or machine/preservative oil? This can make a 15-25% difference...what now? Call mazda and ask for clarification? Or just bolt em on sensibly...
