I'm just surprised. We get teased for snow all the time you here. Yet no snow. -
so... I rotated the tires on my Subaru this morning.
Since I am lazy*, rather than look it up in the car manual, I googled the lug nut torque spec for the car.
Google's AI was, of course, happy to give me a quick answer:
Umm, yeah, no.
Nice try, Google AI!**
I looked it up in the manual.
89 ft-lb.

I'd go 90 ft-lb, you know, just to be safe.....

I played with this a bit. Don't know exactly what you Googled, but,
"crosstrek lug nut torque"
The torque for a Subaru Crosstrek's lug nuts is 89 ft/lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench, you can use the lug wrench that came with the car, as it's designed to prevent over-torquing. After installing new tires, you should re-tighten the lug nuts after 50–100 miles for aluminum rims.
Over- or under-tightening lug nuts can be dangerous and damaging.
BUT
"2019 subaru crosstrek lug nut torque"
The torque for a Subaru Crosstrek's lug nuts is 31 ft/lbs. It's important to note that over- or under-tightening wheel lug nuts can be dangerous and damaging.
Aye aye aye. Or AI AI AI.

Who is tightening lug nug nuts every 100 miles?
- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
On the puddle jumper I torque every 25 - 50 - 100 - 500 miles.when rotating wheels & tires I torque the SpiderTrax 1 inch spacers every time I rotate @ 5000 miles. This also has 1 inch Bilstein lift on front & stock on rear w/Bilstein shocks all around it. I torque every single thing as I service it myself. No one drives this but me. If it fails it's on me. I carry torque wrench in truck. The tool box weighs more then the truck

Hmm
I rotate and balance every 5k, comes with discount tire purchase
Alignment every year, lifetime program at Firestone
I average about 80k to 90k miles out of Michelin defenders
Drive 50k a year, never had any issues. For a normal driver anything more than every 5k miles seems excessive- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
That's getting your money's worth from those tires. Nice to hear good from a tire..

As a road warrior, the balancing is equally important. That's why I only buy tires from discount tire as they rotate and balance for free for the life of the tire- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Who is tightening lug nug nuts every 100 miles?
Not every 100 miles. Just once. After mounting a tire on a car (at least when the tires are on alloy wheels), one is supposed to check torque after about 50 miles and re-torque to spec. The place we get our tires (which is very good) insists on it... but, on the bright side, they'll essentially drop everything & check "in real time" so to speak when one brings a car back for re-torquing.
It's not a bad idea to check torque now and again, though.
The tire place also rotate tires they sold for free and will also put on snow tires they sold for free -- and that's the problem. I did my own rotation this time because, despite my best intentions to take the car in and get 'em done while Mrs. H was in Africa... I didn't 
Now they're hella busy with snow tire installations, and so I decided to do 'em myself. I will probably throw Mrs. H's snows on, too, for the same reason.
My tires are the Michelin Crossclimate 2 which are really nice all weather, all year (!?!) tires -- but they need to be rotated every 3k miles, or one won't get the tread life of which they're capable. I take Michelin & the tire place at their words.

If that makes your mind curious, check out the Netflix Series called Ancient Apocalypse.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -
I believe that's the series with Graham Hancock.
I personally enjoy the heck
out of Hancock's work.
80% of Commenters will dismiss ANYTHING that he does simply because "He doesn't have a degree in Archaeology !"
Or Astronomy.
Or Oceanology.
They base their arguments on credentials and ignore that frequently Hancock is merely raising valid questions.
Interesting interviews on Rogan's podcast.

I just wait till I lose a lug nut, then I know I have a problem.. -
^^^ had a 1977 Ford Ranger 4×4 back in the day. My father in law used a electric gun to put on the lug nuts & I questioned it. He said it was fine. It started to shake real bad on i95 & it was scary. I pulled over. Sure enough. They came loose..
