Do you guys use a spark plug wire boot puller, or do you just yank.

BREMI were OEM on mine and lasted 120k miles
Which is pretty good for a $100 set, I think. STI is the US distributor for BREMI ("STI, by BREMI"). I don't know Karlyn. Bosch premium quality wire sets should be good, but expensive.

I still have a couple of wisdom teeth left if ya wanna try....by the way, any way to tell...
if my plug wires are going south or is it just good sense to change them when my Rapidfire 9s go in? I'd prefer to save some $ and not put them in at this point but if you think otherwise oh great one...

Measure resistance of the spark plugs wires. Also, in the dark...
... with the engine running and the hood open, use an atomizer to spray water mist over the engine. If you see any arcing, the spark plug wires aren't insulating properly anymore.

If you're not reusing the wires, don't worry about a puller.
However, next time you change your plugs you may want to reuse the wires. In this case use some sort of puller. These are the ones I bought and I found them pretty cheap online. They work extremely well and don't damage the wires.
