The torque spec for the wheels on my RP179 is 100 foot pounds.  The torque spec should be posted on one of the labels on the side of the Pod.

I took my trailer to Discount Tire and it worked out great.  It was a pull-through driveway which helped.  I told them how much to torque down the wheels and they did just that.

+1 to Fwunder, especially if it is a trailer tire.

Don't forget to get them balanced too. Not very place does it automatically, especially with carry ins.

I actually asked the place near me what to do, they said bring in the camper. This place is really tight, i hate going with my car. I took a few xanax and hooked up the camper. I was in and out in 40 minutes.

Not to mention what a PITA it would be to get a trailer in/out of most tire places.
