I am a new Jeeper and looking to replace my spark plugs. Ive been getting roughly 13 mpg and pretty low acceleration. I have 30" BFG all-terrains, and I understand bigger tires = less power.
What spark plugs do you seasoned veterans find provide increased perforance? I'm not looking for anything crazy, just some decent spark plugs.
Also, what else have you done to increase your mpg with bulky tires?
Extra Info: I drive a 1992 XJ w/ 4.0L I6. 138,000 miles.

Yeah I did try the Bosch platinum and they lasted for less then a week for me and that was maybe 25-30 miles only. My 98 ran so bad I went back to the champion and never had a problem with them. Some people have had good luck with the fancy plugs but I never did at least in any of my Jeeps.
