          ...everybody has an opinion on this question.

          They're supposedly good for 100,000 miles.

          I have 77,000 miles on my stock plugs and they're still going strong.

          Some people say there is no way you should run them that long.

          The double platinum tips (platinum on both electrodes) hold up very well, for a very long time.

              The stock plugs suck butt....they claim they are good for 100K, but I changed mine after 20K, and the difference was HUGE. I put over 200 miles a day on my car, so I am going to start changing them every 18,000 miles, with my oil changes. If you don't drive the car that hard (and I mean beating on it or high mileage), you should be safe changing them about every 30K. I'm going to do 18K because I need the best mileage possible, and for about $12 a set, it's worth it to change them.
