I like the idea of having a set of plugs full of the residue from the environmental disaster that killed the dinosaurs (ie Denso Iridium), but what's the general consensus out there on which plugs are best for the Tiburon?

 

I use a set of NGK Copper V-Power plugs. They've done very good things for me so far. To blatantly plagarize the wisdom of Random, the plugs last about 1/5 as long as other plugs (20,000 miles vs. 100,000 miles from platinums), but they are also 1/5 the cost ($1 vs. $5 for platinums), so it all evens out in the long run.

BTW, I ran my OEM NGK plugs for 40,000 miles, and they came out in very good condition for that much mileage. They probably could have been cleaned, regapped, and put back in.

 

The irridum plugs are basically 100% stock ordinary plugs....with a small, hard center electrode.

Copper is still a better conductor than platinum or irridum. I would suggest that you just use the NGK coppers. 99% of people change their plugs before 100,000 miles anyway...so why pay extra $$$ for a plug that you are going to yank after 50,000 or 75,000 miles?

 

Decision made... Thanks.
