Going by feel is a good way to loose a wheel or break a stud... that being said I have gone by feel when doing driveway maintenance but always follow up with a recheck of tightness after a few miles or go to auto zone and rent a torque wrench for 5 min

Page 514 of the owner's manual:

Tighten the wheel nuts to: 94 lbf·ft (127 N·m , 13 kgf·m)

I seriously advise you to just let the dealer service your Pilot if you don't know what tool to use to torque your wheel nuts.

If you insist on doing it yourself, then buy a torque wrench.

Do all of the '09s have alloy wheels?

If not, is there a difference between the torque of alloy as opposed to steel?
