Got a question - shortly after I got the boxster I checked with the local club folks, all pointed to the same tire dealer as the best in town for Porsches (all types). Went to the tire man to get a set of fronts, and asked what torque he used. Said he used 80 ft-lbs., always had, and cited numerous boxsters specifically. I've seen a number of cautions on OVER torquing. What about UNDER-torquing? My wheels haven't fallen off, and the nuts are always tight.
Track day is friday, and I will take along a torque wrench & check periodically through the day.
The tire man uses a pneumatic wrench - are they imprecise and he's staying on the safe side?
My owners manual says same as everybody else.
Open for any thoughts or comments.
