Find out if that is a dry setting or lubed, if you use any copper grease or graphite you may be over tightening.

Good idea - it isn't like 120Nm feels excessive.
After I last had tyres fitted they must have been tightened to way over 150 - why do all tyre depots feel compelled to do that?
Coupes because stunning!

Same as that. I had to get a piece of tubing to slide over my wheel brace to get them undone. I guess they're paranoid in case the wheels fall off. The 'better safe than sorry' torque setting.
