I checked summit and they had some.
Just wondering if TR6's are to cold for the Canadian winters or if i would be better off with NGK TR55's

TR6 (1 heat range colder then stock) will drop MPG and worsen drivability. I would recommend putting them in when you are going to run nitrous. If you will run it a lot over the summer then running 1 step colder for the summer is passable. You still will have the above issues.
I would not recommend running them in moderate temperature weather or lower as these issues worsen noticeably.

TR6 are 2 steps colder than Autolight APP764's
TR55 are 1 step colder.
So TR55's it is (need driveability and the ability to run the giggle juice)

Well i drive with them everyday, and i get about 26-28mpg. I notice no drivability issues either.
Then again i am in Hardeeville, SC where the high temp. has not been below 90 in well over a month!

That would probably be better. I am not saying mine don't drive bad in the winter, i just don't have experience with TR6's in the winter yet. I moved to TR6's when i moved to the 100/125 shot which was just 6-7 weeks ago. All during the winter i ran TR55's without a problem.

Holy crap! $24  I pay $1.77 apiece for TR6's or TR55's at the local Advance Auto. I could get two sets of plugs for less than $24!
