OEM Spark Plugs @58,295 Miles

These are the spark plugs that came off our car at 58,295 miles.
I'm not a mechanic or expert but I wanted to get your opinion on the condition of these and if there's anything out of the ordinary. Thank you!

Pulled the originals out of mine at 67k(bought it at 66k). They were pretty crispy. Much smoother now.

Actually those were some tiny hairs that got stuck there before I took the pics. I did use a spark plug socket and also torqued the new ones to 20 ft. lbs
