BOSCH platinum spark plugs @ Walmert for 8.88$ (are these good??)

Just passed by a local Walmart and saw that they had Bosch platinum spark plugs for 8.88$ the pair.

I need to change my plugs and am wondering how these will do?

Has anyone tried them? What spark plugs do you guys reccomend?

Let me know

Thanks

I wouldn't run Bosch plugs in ANYTHING. They make a nice belt sander, though.

I would stick with OEM or Iridium. The $20max you will save is not worth the risk of something else happening.

I run the colder Iridiums with my pulley etc setup and no issues.
