Has anyone tried the "Glider. ™. Beam Blade" wipers yet?
Are they worth the $13 price tag?

There are similar wipers of different brands. Some people like them.

I have the Bosch version on all my cars. Works incredibly well.

You have to keep the rubber maintained because they are too expensive to replace twice a year

Rain-X is actually horrible for the wipers. It eats away at the rubber. Great for sheeting off the rain, but it will decrease the overall life of your windshield wipers.

How do you keep your rubbers(wiper) maintained personally?

Do you maintain your rubbers on the wheels?

rub the blade with rubbing alcohol on a rag once a month to remove the oxidized rubber.

Tires are supposed to rough for wet traction. You don't want smooth tires in rain
