Spark plug boots

So do I change the boots or not?

I've got about 90K on the SD and got most all the parts for a tune-up. I don't have new plug boots. At $10 each, they're not exactly cheap.
Did you install new boots to go with new spark plugs or did you keep the originals?

Thanks

I do. They are way too hard to get out if you need to at another time, since they are already off when changing plugs it makes too much sense to do it at that time.
