What I've found is that it has more to do with direct sunlight and dry heat than use. It also has to do with how old your windshield is. If your vehicle is garage kept and doesn't sit out in the sun all day long every day, the wipers will last longer than someone who parks in the sun every day and leaves the vehicle outside more often than not. Consumer reports says to replace front wipers every 6 months to maintain better than good performance on the front. You should be able to get 1-3 years out of a rear wiper. I personally get 2-3 years out of my original set and then about a year out of my second set. Then after that I usually do fall and spring replacements because the windshield glass is usually fine sand paper by then from all my tailgating!! LOL
