I put 200k on my last work truck with a perm. equipment mounted maxed out GWV, and being a boom truck it could be legally over-weight on the 14k steer axle, .. (it's true).
It had 10 ea. 22" alum. wheels on it, being driven hard on and off road, it used to eat tires.
I've had many tires changed on job sites and the side of the road by many different independent tire trucks. Every one of them put a 250 ft. lb. air-gun in the lugs and held the trigger down until the gun stopped ............ torque ?
In over 4 decades of driving these work trucks, I never checked them, I never re-torqued them, and I've never had a wheel or lug problem.
I guess I was just lucky.
