Re: Ignition Plugs and Wires

Today's wires are made to last 100,000 miles or 5 years, which ever you get to first is the recommendations. Their biggest detractor is engine heat and age, making the rubber brittle. But I have two vehicles that are over 10 years old and over 200,000 miles that have had new plugs but never got around to changing the wires. And others I've changed the wires around every 60,000 miles or 3 years. No wire problems with any of them. Did the ones sooner because they were high performance engines and I wanted to be sure they ran great and looked good.
