I think the correct term is they 'used to have' screw in tips. My TR55ix's don't, and I've heard the regular TR55's also don't have screw in tips now.

After the cam install, I installed new high performance wires and NGK TR55's gapped to .050.

Could be, it has been about 9 months since I had a set in and the NGK TR6s had screw in tips and the NGKs I bout shortly after that had them too, so I went to the dealership and bought the AC DELCO set and I feel alot better.
