Default Best wiper blades, yea I know... dumb question

Well, the 93 is now my daily driver and the blades havent been replaced on it since.... hmmmm not since I owned it and it has some real shabby blades on there now. I never cared about it cause I never drove the car in the rain. All I use on all my other cars are Bosch Icon's but unfortunately they don't make them for 5.0's. Anyone have suggestions on GREAT blades for my car, the wiper system is bad enough as it is, don't need to top it off with ****ty blades lol thanks guys

No I don't buy into every marketing gimmic that I see but I certainly say that my experience w/ Bosch Icon's have been more than GREAT and are by far the best blade that I have ever used... just so happens that they're expensive :/

Hell the wipers I run on my DD (96 5.0 explorer) cost $25 a piece. Granted they are silicone flex-bar blades. Got a 5 year warranty on them. Work great. As for the stang I got cheap walmart Michelins on it. They work.

The 3 dollar ones work great for me. Sure they probably don't last as long but you can buy 2 sets for less than the price of 1 rain x blade.

So you can buy almost 5 sets of the 'crappy' ones for the price of a set of rainx blades. I think thats the better deal.
