Default Bosch Icon Wiper Blades

I need to replace my wiper blades and was researching Bosch wiper blades. I had the Bosch MicroEdge in my 4Runner and they were very good, they withstood the harsh winter weather in the Northeast. I looked on the Bosch website for the Bosch Icon and I don't think they make it for the GX 460. I think the closest is the Bosch Evolution. Has anyone had experience with these wiper blades or recommend something better for the GX. I get a lot of snow and freezing rain in the winter and need a really good wiper for all the vehicles. Thanks for any input.

The OEM blades are the best (the cleanest wipe). The blade refills are fairly inexpensive, even from the Stealer. I've tried all the expensive blades (including the Icons) and the OEMs simply work the best.

Great! It's good to know. How long do you normally wait before replacing them?By the way, where did you get the Bosch Icons for the GX?

I usually get somewhere near two years out of the blades. I tried the Icons on my IS.

I put the Bosch Icon 26A (driver) and 20B (pass) on. Good deal on amazon. Working great. My best is that they have not tested for the 460 yet.
