Ignition wires don't last forever and have even shorter life spans if they get abused. I would say that you are due for a new set of wires, there is no sense in trying to get more life out of them. After you install the new wires, always treat them very gently, (and try to fuss with them as little as possible) When you do have to pull them off a spark plug, do it very gently. There is a special tool available which makes removing the lead from the plug easy and is gentle on the lead at the same time.
