I replaced mine late last year at 170k miles!!! lol I bought it used when it had 67k miles so I wasn't sure if they had ever been replaced. I stuck with OEM wires. Contact TOR on this board, I got mine from him. I don't remember the price but it was definitely a good deal.

The factory wires are definately good and what I would use.
A set of wires could last a very long time. You need to check resistance with a multimeter.
If the resistance is above a certain level (specified in the FSM), replace them.

I wouldn't change them until at least 100K, but I would check the resistance (ohms) whenever you change plugs. Expect to pay around $70-$85, but they are nice because they include all brackets, etc aready mounted to wires. They are even date coded so there is no mystery. Change cap & rotor at the same time.
Prices may differ for your model.

I wouldn't change them until you start sensing a problem. It's not like they'll all go out at one time one day. Now if you end up with over 100k miles on them and are preparing for a pretty long cross country excursion you might consider it. My favorite plug wires are NGK. I have no idea if they even make them for the yota or not. I just replaced my plugs for the first time at about 90K miles and figure they really didn't even need that. I plan to run the wires for quite a while longer.
