Exactly.

I just swapped my TR55s out yesterday to try the new Brisk plugs.
My TR55s had only about 2k-3k miles on them and were in the car for over 15 months, they still looked great. Some say to change them after only 10k-15k miles but I'd think you could get up to 25k miles out of them easy in an NA application if the car is tuned properly.

I've seen TR55s look fine after 30K miles in a stock motor. Probably a good idea to start checking them after 20-25K though.
