Does anyone have the wheel nuts torque figure for Goodyear 6.00-6 wheels, low flange (P/N 511960S)?

Trevor , I take it that you mean the wheel centre-nut and not the nuts to the tie-bolts for the split rims .
If it is the centre-nut to which you refer :
My aeroplane also has 6.00 x 6 wheels and I have always just tightened the nut by hand until the 'top & bottom' play has been removed and then just take it forward to the nearest split-pin hole . By using that method , it will ensure that you don't overtighten onto your wheel bearings .

Thanks Chris, agree with that, but I was looking for the torque on the nuts holding the split wheel together.

Hello Trevor,
Not quite the same thing but may be reasonable to use.
For a Cleveland 5.00 x 5 wheel the AN4 tie bolts are torqued to 90 in/lbs.
