    I have had tried most aftermarket but OEM seems to last the longest for me. The OEM didn't streak until almost 2 years of use compared to the aftermarkets which last only for 6 months.

    Picked up Michelin wipers from Costco last month and they've been great so far; quiet and great job clearing water.

    I ran the Rain X Latitudes for 2 years. Worked great. No Winters here in NC though.

    I splurged for the Rain X Latitudes this last time and am disappointed. Both of them are smudgy after just a month or so of use. I'll stick with the cheaper Rain Xs in the future, had better luck with those. Texas heat and lack of rain is pretty tough on wiper blades in general though, never had a set last more than 6-8 months.

    I've had my OEMs on for over a year now and they're still going strong.

    They're technically the longest any wiper blade has ever lasted on any of my vehicles.

    Two months on my OEMs and they're streaking pretty bad. I've tried several other brands and have always had good luck with Motorcraft blades. Probably going to replace mine soon.

    Same here. Two months on the OEM's and they are streaking. I had RainX Latitudes on my last Taco and they did great for about 18 - 24 months
