They just had too many customers with endless misfire issues.

If not for so many of the tuned drivers reporting misfires after installing Iridium plugs...I think they would be the choice plug given their extended life performance. But with them having difficulty performing under tuned conditions...they are likely only preferred for stock platforms where extended plug life is sought after.

They run the fuel according to their tunes and regions, yes. 93 octane = 98 RON

Tuners (APR, GIAC, Unitronic, DM, REVO, and others) send tunes that will only work with 91oct, 92oct, and 93oct...and these vary depending on where customers reside.

The tuners always work directly with those having those misfire issues and it always came down to the plugs after much trial and error.

Interesting, so no one over here experiencing misfires with the Iridiums?

We are talking about the Same plug?

No misfires reported by any of my customers. No issues with them in my car either.
