Spark Plug wires?

[FreStylMotoX01]

ok im due for my 30,000 mile tune up and when they do that they usually replace the spark plug wires to (right?) well i have magnacore 8.5mm wires that were on it when i bought it, should i have them replaced with the plugs and just get a new set of wires ? thanks for the feedback guys!

Pop the hood in the dark. If you don't see any leakage- and you will, if there is any -then stay with those expensive ones.

by leakage he means that in the dark if u look at the wires and see lil sparks or cracks of light coming from the wires.... then u need to replace them. I had that on my car ones, it was like a christmas tree light under there , replaced them of course haha.

Yeah, I had to replace my original plugs because of that. Its pretty bright. Have you ever seen the clear distributor caps for Honda? WOW, those are bright.

honestly i didnt know they could do that either till one day my car ran like sh*t was stuttering stalling shaking just plain hell, and it was night and i started my car to show my friend how bad it sounded and i poped the hood and it was like a light show under there. Over time from all the heat then cold heat then cold and just general wear, the rubber that is around the wire just wears out cracks and becomes useless. Replaced the wires and car ran and hummed perfect
