They only spark plug failure I've ever experienced was a "premium" Bosch platinum plug. My pickup started missing about 5K miles after I installed the Bosch plugs. Pulled the plugs and found that the center electrode of one had drifted out of the insulator until it shorted out against the outer electrode. This was about 15 years ago. Maybe they've done something about their lousy quality since then, but I haven't given Bosch a second chance. Anyway, a year or so later I'm sitting in the bleachers at a race and Bosch logos are all over the place. I comment to my friend about my experience with Bosch plugs, and the guy in the seat in front of me turns around and says "I had the same thing happen!". Now the OEM AC platinum plugs that GM puts in pretty much everything now are truly a 100K mile plug. Why anyone would replace them with anything else is a mystery to me.
