I invested in my own torque wrench so I could re-torque on my own after a shop did any tire swaps, brake work, etc.

I always use 85 for the Sorento, and I do this about 60-80kms of driving after the tire was put back on. I usually only find that my lock-nuts tighten at all, except for a few days ago when I had tires installed by my local Costco on my Hyundai Elantra GT (which takes 80). The Hyundai's nuts were all not torqued enough.

I'm not handy with this stuff at all but I recommend a click-type torque wrench to anyone.
