Coarse thread takes more torque for the same size stud of the same material. You have less mechanical advantage with coarse threads.
I always put anti-seize on all wheel studs and then you would use less torque. You are not overcoming as much friction to stretch the stud as on a dry thread.

Sorry, I didn't mean that it required more torque
because it has a finer pitch, just that it had a finer pitch. Poorly worded post is poorly worded.
Oh well.
