I use Bosch Icons year round. Kinda spendy, but they're the first blades I've owned that can survive a winter and still wipe cleanly. Overall they seem to last a long time.

+1 for Bosch but mine were done for so I opted for a pair of Rain-X. Haven't got a chance to use them but I'm sure their going to work wonders.

You probably won't find much of a deal. Check Bosch's site to see if there's any rebates. Other than that, most auto parts stores probably have them at the same price.

I agree the wipers that came with the car were pretty good, however the rubber started seperating after 2 years, so now i use Piaa and there awsome!!!

PIAA Super Silicones, worth the cash. Ran these through the winter and haven't had any problems.
