It's about time to replace my wiper blades, I normally use Bosch but wanted to see what you all use!

Whatever is in stock. Usually Anco. I tried some clear plus wipers on my truck and they did the job and are reasonably price(CHEAP).

Get Trico beams and don't look back. I got mine cheap from Rock Auto.
Some models are made stateside. Pricy but they claim looong life.

I buy the michelins from Walmart. They're usually good for a year or so.
I bought Trico Selects for the front and Trico 12-As for the rear, which are their better 'conventional' blades. Got them from Rock Auto. Three of each (left, right, rear) for $62 shipped. Hope they don't suck because I will be using them for a while! I have Michelin beams on right now, and I don't like them. The driver's side skips...and always has.
I used to use nothing but Bosch blades, but the last set I bought sucked terribly. This was many years ago, but they had plastic frames and the driver's blade broke while I was on the freeway a week or two after I bought them. The blade just completely fell apart in a rainstorm, and the end of the bare arm was scraping across the windshield until I could get off the interstate. It left heavy scratch marks in a perfect arc on my windshield...right across my line of sight.
Never bought Bosch blades again.
Bosch last the longest, for me anyway. My drivers and passengers wipers are from 2015, the only replacement wipers I've ever put on my car after the factory ones pooched out. The wipers that came with the Mirage were actually pretty bad. Anyway 5+years with my bosches and they haven't ripped.
This is through terrible Canadian conditions in my Mirage every day, so it's particularly amazing reliability. They look a little rusty now and they streak a bit, so I just need to get new ones. They would pass safety in Ontario so I will keep them.
