Default Resuing sparkplug wires? (MSDs)

The car needs to be tuned up and I was wondering if just changing the plugs and reusing the same MSD's wires would matter any? I doubt they have been on the car for more than 50k miles.

Considering I have my original 10 1/2-year old factory wires on my 427 stroker engine, and they are stil lworking perfectly, I would hope that some MSD aftermarket wires can be used twice. I've used Taylor Thunderbolts before and they were complete junk, so I just put my stockers back on and they're great.

unless you yanked on them really hard when you removed them. I replace mine every year.
