Best wiper blades
Bosch, I had those on my other cars but recently bought the rain x latitude wipers because they were on sale and they are garbage, picking up another set of Bosch when they are on sale

I tried a set of Goodyear blades from Costco. They were cheap, so I figured why not. They were really terrible, not worth the savings. I've had good luck with Bosch and Rainex.
The 9-10 months comment is right. The pits in the windshield from all the sand and grit don't help the blades last any longer.

Clearly you dont live in the north east. Between acid rain and alot of other crap that gets on the car, rain x would need to be applied daily. Good wipers are a must. Buy good wipers and you save money on rain x .
or just spend the extra $1 and get the rain-x windshield fluid. That works well too.
Clearly I DON'T live in the NE...since my profile says NC.
I have just over 17,000 miles on my 2013 and the blades are still perfect. I got the car at the end of May brand new and I'm still on the originals, which don't streak and do a fairly remarkable job.
Back when I had my Accord, this was a popular debate on the forums. After much testing (and some spirited discussions on the forums), I found that the best blades for the Accord were the cheap OEM blades. I tried Rain-X, Bosch, Goodyear (from CostCo), and probably more and within a few months, they were all streaky. When I replaced with OEM's, I went nearly a year with no problems.
Your experience may vary, but until I decide to test out other blades, I'll probably stick with OEM as they've lasted through lots of rain during the summer and fall, a horrific winter with lots of snow and arctic cold, and a spring that has, so far, been mostly freezing without a problem. Heck, I'm not sure I'll need new blades before next winter.
Back in the day, I'd religiously swap blades before and after nasty Chicago winters, but now only swap them out when I get streaks.
Now that I have a Crimson Black Max, I'm way more **** about my car always being dirty.

At 30k the Dealer replaced my Latitudes with whatever the Dealer uses, at 36k they replaced them for free. They were streaking. So with the free for life oil change I got the free replacements. Next is tires - they have Hankook s12's for the same prices as Tire Rack. Rear brakes also.
bought the expensive icons. they lasted just as long or maybe shorter than the OEM blades. left me SOL in this crazy winter unable to clear snow without it sticking to the blades and causing major visibility issues. no more bosch for me.
