    Reading the workshop guide, it looks like the wheel nut torque is 103Nm which seems very high compared to tiger cars I've owned. Is that what people are using ?

    Its 110Nm for aluminium alloys and to me its quite normal :D
    Do not confuse it with the archaic Foot-pound

    To be honest, I used the even older measure of stop trying to tighten them up when my testicles hurt !
