Default Plug wires rotting away

Okay so I have a set of Taylor 8mm wires. Today I noticed that a couple of them have spots on them where they are rotting away. Anyone know what could have caused this?

I've had the wires for about a maybe a year. It looks like the silicone just started decaying. Nothing is wrong with the spiral wrap on the inside just the silicone!

Get a set of NGK's. ...or a wire that carries a good lifetime/free replacement warranty.

The last set of Taylors I used actually had a wire break in 2 on me while driving...3 cyls FTL

Yeah I'm glad they didn't break in two. Where is a good place to order NGK's from? No one in my town carries them.
