Wheel Nut Torque

Its getting to that time of year in Canada when the temperature rises to a balmy 8 degrees and I can finally think about putting away my ugly winter tires and reinstalling my stock rims. I plan on borrowing a torque wrench to do the job properly but need to know what amount I need to torque the wheel nuts to. Anyone know?

Pick a number between 72 and 87 lb-ft.

Look in the glovebox, there is what is called an owners manual. Open it.
