Which wiper blades should I get?

[SolaraGuy22]

I am in the market for new wiper blades and I didn't see many posts about them when I did a search. I pretty much narrowed it down to two companies. I would like your opinions. HELP!

just get Yota's..cheap

Thier easy to replace, and thier pretty cheap. I think a new midgrade blade is going to perform better than a high-qual semi-used blade, so I just go to Walmart and get what they have. I think I got the tripleblade since they seemed quality, but were on the cheap side. (I think it was around 4 bucks per blade).

If they get worn down, just slap on another set. Can even keep a set in the trunk for a toolless 20-second roadside replacement if you realize your blades are getting worn.

I think my methodology is sound, but someone tell me if I'm wrong here and spell out why I should get a high-qual blade instead.

Just for the record, I use Mobil 1 in all my oil changes, and use good brake pads and tires, so I don't always cheap out on replacable parts, I just don't think theres a reason to go with high end wiper blades.

I went with some $13 hoity-toity teflon blades from Autozone a month ago when I replaced my Boschs which has been on for a year, neglected by my having to replace them. They perform just as well as the Boschs. Its for how long they last is what you pay for, I think. I'll see as time goes with these ones.

=TadS (from 2003 post) I use Triple Edge wiper blade inserts. I have had really good luck with them for the last 7 years or so. I bought a set for my Solara the day I got it, and they still haven't failed on me . I convinced one of my friends to spend the extra 10 bucks and try them on his Neon last week, as his were old blades had split. We have had major storms all week here, and yesterday he actually called me on his cell to tell me how good they were LOL.

Sill feel the same way another year later. Good blades.

PIAA's are worth the extra money. My set has lasted at least 3 years and they are just now kind of wearing out. There is another high end brand, Valeo or something, they are on Tirerack's website.
