New NGK wires leaking

Hey guys,

Was wondering if anyone had experience with NGK wires and leaking boots ?
I put brand new wires on my truck in the summer and one of the wires has already started to leak I ended up swapping out the wires but I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced quality issues with NGK

I have never had problems with ngk products. must have been a flaw in the wiring during manufacturing. was the wire pinched?

NGK is usually for imports they don't hold up well in american for some reason. The shop i used to work for would not warranty them if a customer asked for them in their car. Motorcraft is best they always seem to last longest.
