I found that 35 foot pounds for me just tight enough and not too tight where you can remove them. And no, none of lugs nuts have ever loosen torque to 35 foot pounds cause I checked them.
The specs for my 2014 Yamaha lug nuts are 65 ft.lb, this is not a number you decide on because it’s easier for you to get them off, it’s calculated for safety.
