I'm having the same problem. I found this site that says for a 12 mm thread diameter the torque should be 70-80 ft-lbs. So I chose 80 lbs. This is on a 2023 PHEV.

I'm going to call the dealership tomorrow to confirm.

seen a bunch of different sites saying different things but i dont think i seen that one . 70 - 80 sounds about right but thinking i will follow your plan and call in tomorrow .

thanks

Whoever answering the phone at my dealership said 100 ft-lbs, but I didn't ask to talk to Service, so I trust your number more.
ok learned a lot today . switched torque wrench to loosen and set to 80 psi . some nuts moved without it clicking ,most moved with it clicking on one side . at 85 psi on the other side they all moved without clicking except for two . slow steady pressure . im guessing 83 psi is about right . doing mine at 85 .

before i started i checked tpms pressures , they were all at 38 . when finished i filled the tires all to 38 by hand Gage . pressed a pile of buttons and couldn't find how to switch tpms sensors . manual was no help but said needs to be driven above 25 kph or something like that for them to work .

checked the pressures on the tpms all still at 38 . drove down the road a few minuets , stopped and checked again . all at 39 psi . drove back and still at 39 .

i guess they just switch on their own ????

anyway hope this helps

Ya, my tire pressure sensors figured out the new wheels on their own too. Pleasantly surprised by that.

yes aside from the manual being less than fully informative this TPMS thing was well thought out . might not be a big thing for thoes in southern climates but i love it .
