Default ignition wire failures

I'm looking for some expert advice on ignition wires. I have gone through 2 sets of Ford Motorsport 9mm wires in just 6500 miles. By "going through them", I mean that one of them starts to break down and I get an ignition miss. The wire resistance still reads ok, but there is definitely something breaking down in the wire because a simple wire replacement cures the problem. 3200 street miles to a set of ignition wires seems unreasonably low.

Anyone else ever have this problem? Are Motorcraft wires that bad? Or do you think something is causing premature failure?

Other info:
MSD-7 Digital box
Ford Motorcraft coil (came with the crate motor).
Standard plugs (they look fine, with no wear).
Wide cap Ford distributor
