Don't know. The ones from Walmart are about $5.00. At the price you are talking about, they better last 4 times as long. I am really fussy with the glass on my truck, so I usually replace mine as soon as they start to streak. I would guess every 3-4 months I replace them.

The Anco's from Wally-World or Advance Auto seem to do just as well. Every time you wash your truck take a little time to clean the edge of the wiper blade with a rag. You can take a small gause pad dipped in alcohol and clean them as well. You will see the dirt come off.

I've had good luck using Bosch wiper blades. I change rubber inserts about every 4 to 6 months and replace the whole blade about every third change or if the blade doesn't flex easily at the joints. We get a lot of rain here in south Louisiana and until about a year ago I drove a lot in heavy traffic with a lot of slop thrown up by traffic. That eats blades up pretty fast no matter what brand.

i use the Bosch Micro Edge blades on my dad's truck, my mom's car, and my car. They work like a charm, and last A LOT longer than the Anco blades that I usually use. Theyre also a lot quieter that the other blades that I've used in the past. The original blades on my dad's truck lasted for 6 months. The Bosch blades cost about $15 per blade.
