Copper plugs require replacement faster than Irridium/Platinum plugs.

I keep a set of the copper TR55s in stock. The Irridium plugs are not proven yet to me, so I don't use them.

Copper core supposedly dissipates heat better.

I don't think the copper core plugs last more than 30k in non-race situations.
