2014 S60 T5 - plug change at 98K?

As best I can tell the car has the original spark plugs in it. Is it time to replace them?
I know that OEM is best but Denso has these "performance" Stock # 5344 | P/N IKH20 plugs with a 044. gap and a very short electrode. I've read a few good things about them. Since they came very recently, are they worth considering?

I would at 100k. I’ve stayed with OEM plugs from FCP.

Check the OEM plug gap recommendation and check them out of the box. The turbos typically have a small gap.

Denso shows a .044 for stock and .040 for performance. IDK what is stock...
