48 lbs. for stock wheel nuts per shop manual.
After market wheels and matching after market nuts seem to hold up under 70 lbs
with no problem. So it must be those special taper factory nuts that are the
weak link leading to the factory stock setup recommendation of only 48 lbs.

Torque them to 70lbs when you check air pressures, it takes less than a
min per wheel. Use a star pattern.
