Torque for lug nuts?

Does anyone know the amount of torque recommended for the 2002 P5 lug nuts? I think the Mazda dealer that I go to overtorque my wheels everytime, and I don't plan on them touching my wheels. It's almost impossible for me to remove the wheels myself. Thanks for your help

It says anywhere from like 65-100 ft/lbs. Just look in the manual that your car came with........duh HE HE HE....I can't believe they make it such a broad range....

The correct torque according to Mazda is 67-87 lb/ft. I usually torque mine to 80.
