I've been autocrossing/tracking it for years (read many, many mount/dismounts of the tires), and I've always stuck with ~95 ft/lbs agreeing with most people here. Every so often, I'll put a little lubricant on the threads as well. Have never had a problem.

It's imperative to unwind a click type torque wrench after every use. Keeping the wrench set at ~95 ft/lbs will overtime radically change the properties of the spring and your torque readings. Sears makes a great, economical torque wrench. They also have a recalibration service that doesn't too awfully long.
