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.

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.
