Lug Nut Torque
My fifth wheel has 15" five bolt load range C tires. What should the lug nut torque be? Would 80 foot pounds be about right?

And there's no reason you ever should.
I use anti-seize on my lug nuts, and tighten them to about 5-7 lb.ft. less than the recommended. Never had a lug nut come loose in 40 years, and I can always get them off with the tools at hand. Which is the main idea. I've had friends that cannot say the same when they needed to change a tire.
