You need a torque wrench to tighten to a certain torque.

the tire iron is
supposed to provide enough leverage to allow the average built person to torque accurately with moderate force.
however, if your gonna work on your car frequently, it would be nice to get yourself a torque wrench for super accuracy

back off when the nut is getting tight, don't ever use your foot to tighten it or loosen it.
