was: Problems with ATE Power Discs?

[Tessie McMillan]

Wow! I got a ton-o-you to reply about Power Discs. Thank you! And snuck in 
there might be the reason to what happened on my end. 

When I got new tires last week, I noticed the tire shop was torquing my 
alloy wheels to 80 ft-lbs. For some reason, I had remembered the torque 
value as 85 ft-lbs, and I've been using that value for quiiiiiiiiiiiiiite 
some time. I asked my mechanic to verify and he said no way should I go 
over 80 on those wheels. Huw, you and... Ti? both mentioned the torque 
issue and how it affects rotors. I think what happened was my rotors were 
totally over-torqued.

We are now back down to 80, as my mechanic was the last one to put the 
wheels on. 

Now I guess the question is, what's going to happen to my wheels?.... Good 
think I keep an eye out for cracks....
