Default Laser platinum spark plugs

I tried to look around but honestly didnt take a lot of time doing so. I called my local parts store and they told me that these are supposed to be better than the iridium plugs. Anyone have any comments about this. I want to change them out this weekend so I need to know asap.

If there was such a good spark plug, racing teams would be the first to use them. No such thing as a free ride.

And your point is? I read that thread previously and it has no mention of Laser Platinum plugs. I'm already aware of the differences between platinums and iridium. I was inquiring about "laser platinums".

Thanks guys. I went ahead and just ordered platinums from another store.


Edit: I meant I ordered iridium

Laser Platinum is Platinum. They have to use a laser to solder the platinum to the tip! What, did you think the spark plug had lasers?

With aluminum heads important to change plugs every 4 years or so to avoid the possibility of them galling the thread.
