Thanks all for your ideas on how to aide me in getting a stubborn Avon
Gripster on my 2008.
I heated the tire with a hot air gun. I lubed it up good with a
special homemade mixture of water and liquid (childrens) bubbles, and
applied it a spray bottle. At 65psi pow, the tire seated properly.

Apples and oranges. The correct torque is for tightening, pay no
attention to what it takes to break it loose. The bolt isn't over tight
if you use the correct torque spec. If it takes more to break it loose,
so what, it was tightened correctly.
