I work at Shucks Auto Supply and we sell Autolite wires by the tote a day....i feel sorry for every one of those guys. I think maybe they work better for trucks or something because the only returns ive gotten were from a 93 Ford Taurus and a 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse...

personally i'd run stock unless i could get some mantecore's. Wires don't make THAT mutch difference. I'm currently running kore wires, and after i sorted out my contact problem, they run smooth. I'd say kore are decent wires for the price($80 or so). but i'd invest my money and do mantecore's if i had to do it all over again.
but really, unless you need to replace your wires, don't bother, gains are minimal for the cost.

The stock wires work as they should. I would consider changing them as a regular maintence item if you keep them on the vehicle however. I go through about 4 sets a week and I am just a small hyundai dealer. I don't even want to know how many a large dealer replaces in a week. Keep an extra set of wires and plugs in your garage so if it starts to misfire you won't have to wait to go buy them. I would look at the wires very close every 12,000 miles or so. The hard plastic portion is where we see most of our failures.

My o1 Tib was missing pretty bad, 15K, the dealer said it was the wires just bring it in and they'd replace them. (HA) Anyway I tried autolites wires and although they don't miss as bad they still miss. Think I'll try a new set of Hyundai wires.

I gave up on Hyundai wires. Had mine replaced at the dealership 4 times. I'm actually more satisfied with Autozone's replacement wires. $40 and lifetime replacement. I'm not running any type of crazy ignition system, so it does the job.
