Default b16a o2 problem

I have a JDM b16a that runs well in my 88 civic hatch and I keep on throwing o2 codes. I replace the 2 o2 sensors 4 months ago so i dont know what the deal is. I was wondering why they are burning out every 6000 miles. I am running Bosh o2's through sheilded wiring so and my wiring is correct. So any help will be most excellent.

Thats odd, and its only on the freeway? does it happen in a specific gear and speed or jsut whenever you are on the highway? does it happen right away after to get to the speed/gear?

The o2s are mounted on the header like normal. They only through codes when on the free way randomly. I still get 34 mpg so im not shure if my o2s a really bad.
