I do as well, but I have a torque wrench. I’ll put it off a bit in the fall if we hit a cold snap right after I change them. I don’t have a heated garage or Canada Goose coat, and the tools get so cold (see, weather related discussion).
Last time I got new tires at a shop I noticed the “must come back after 50km to re torque” note on the receipt and thought, pffft, no one’s driving back for that. Could be wrong.
