Autolites last as long for me as the NGK's. Either of them last about 10k miles for me. Any longer than that and I start getting missfires. The Autolites can be found for about $1.00 each

Pros: last 10k miles, cheap
Cons: misfires after 10k miles
Mileage: 10000 km

Once we got a good local supplier for Motorcraft plugs a few years ago we almost never install Autolite.

Pros: good local supplier
Cons: almost never install

There seems to have been quality issues with those for quite a while. I couldn't count how many times we removed fairly new Autolite spark plugs and replaced them with a better brand to fix a misfire.

Pros: fixes misfire
Cons: quality issues

Autolite Spark plug

Yesterday, I installed new spark plugs in my 2004 TJ. Going off [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-are-the-best-spark-plugs-for-my-jeep-wrangler-tj-4-0.4196/) I purchased the Autolite XP985. Originally, I gapped the plugs to .04 based on [this thread](https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/spark-plug-gap-for-4-0.17415/). The jeep ran terribly and actually threw a check engine light.

I went back today and changed all the gaps to .035 based on the note under the hood, but I still think the idle is a bit rougher then what it was before the change.

Cons: rough idle, check engine light
Vehicle: Jeep
Part number: XP985
