My '97 SE came stock with the AC Delco Platinum (Iridium). Just replaced them at 106K and they look like they could go another 100 easy...

I'll try the TR 55'* next time I change them cause first hand knowledge from those who used them is always a good bet.

Don had 'em. Went to the AC Delco stockers (not sure which) and lost 1-2 mpg. Switched back to TR55'* and it came back.

I've consistently had great performance from them in a host of vehicles in the last 8 or so years.

Little side note...

If they look confused, but they know they carry NGK'* but tell you they can't find TR55'*... Tell them the stock number is 3951 That will be the TR55

Also if Advance is close to you they should carry them..

Advance (at least in PA store region) will tell you they don't have the TR55s, but they have a comparable.Tell them to get them. They will have NGK TR55 all over the box.

Those gaps look to have worn to about .090". Similar to my SSEi when I bought it with 65k on the ticker.
