I use Bosch micro-edge, usually lasts me about 12-16 months. Make your sure your windshield is clean as well. Perhaps using Stoner's Invisible Glass or claying the windshield has helped me immensely.

yeah, definitely keep your windshield clean, cuz any crap that's on it will get stuck in the windshield wipers, making them wear down quicker and possibly scratching your windshield

When I heard that PIAA made wipers I almost had a stroke.

PIAA is one of those brand names that people think are cool. They make decent lights. Wiper blades are wiper blades.

The only differences is that some are made of rubber. Some are made of rubber with silicone.

I use Triple edge wiper refills from wal-mart. They cost 4.88 and Its probably the best wiper blades I have ever used

Nothing beats silicone wiper blades. 5 Year warranty. Absolutely awesome. No streaks, noise, nothing. Won't crack or anything and ice doesn't really stick to them like rubber ones.

www.silblade.com

And you can get different colors if you like, I got carbon fiber look with black silicone inserts.

Anco refills work for me. Inexpensive but very effective. But between the RainX and my daily cleaning of my glass, I hardly ever use them. You'd be surprised how important maintaining clean glass is to wiper blade longevity. Really clean glass also allows the RainX to work to its best. Ever notice an unwashed car doesn't bead water like after you've washed it? Same with glass.
