depends. a year is pushing it in areas with ice/snow. Winters will kill

Also if your windshield is pitted (like mine is) the blades may only last
about a year. Also if your in an area with lots of dust/sand/dirt.

I usually run AMCO? blades but will try some of those silicone blades
next time even if they cost more. If they last longer it may be worth it.

Anyhow, blades are cheap compared to bent metal.

For ordinary rubber wipers, one year is a pretty long
lifespan. What all the air pollution doesn't do to the
poor babies, ordinary old sunlight will do. Sometimes
you can rejuvenate them by taking an abrasive household
cleanser [or 600 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper] to the edges
every month or so.

The silicon variety stay soft longer, but even those wear
in a coupla years and also benefit from carefully exposing
new rubber on their business edges.
