160 Stat = new Plugs?

I have recently changed to a 160 degree thermostat. I now run at 180 to 200 degrees. Is there any need to change to a hotter plug?

No need to run a hotter plug. I ran a 160 thermostat in my 1998 TA for 50K miles and the plugs look normal.

I run a 160* stat with colder plugs, no problem. [1 heat range colder]

No need to change the plugs. If you are going to change them use TR55 plugs gap them at 0.050".
