Local Honda installed 4 new tires on my Fit. This Fall, needed to remove one for flat repair. It took a 3/4 inch breaker bar and a 10 foot steel pipe to get enough leverage to break free the over-torqued lug nuts. And, the dealer wonders why the Honda will never go back to his shop.
The dealer did the tires only because no one else had the correct tire size without a 3 day lead time.
On the bright side, following a youtube video, I now have a remote lock/unlock fob for the base model Fit. Total investment, $40.

Additional info: Dorman web site has a chart with the manufacturer recommended lug nut torque pressure listed. The Honda Fit lug setting is 108 ft/pounds. Most Honda's seem to be at that setting.
