Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Subaru

Michelins from Costco are the best I've used yet.

I use Michelin. Never had an issue

We just replaced the wipers on our 2020 Subaru Outback today - they lasted 4 year!. If you have a Subaru, I highly recommend Subaru wipers. The ones we replaced were still clearing the windshield, but in Virginia they have "safety" inspections and if there's even the tiniest little tear they fail the car. So we replaced them. But they still had life left in them.

The Michelin blades I put on over a year ago are just now maybe starting to need to be replaced.

Michelin Guardia+ blades - $7.99 each on sale at Costco - way better than OEM, way cheaper than Bosch. Even if they don’t last as long as Bosch, I can replace them 3 times as often and still save money.

They’re Michelin. And while they’re not fantastic or anything. They’re more than good enough, and cheap enough to swap every 6 months if needed.

I purchased Michelin Optimum+ Ceramic Beam 26”/16” just the other day. I chose them because I wanted ceramic silicone and the Michelin were a great price at $15 each. After putting the “right” adapter on that fit the button hole, that’s when I found out that the Trax’s wiper arm isn’t the correct length for these blades. The space between the button hole and the end is really small whereas the bracket on the blade and the photo in the instruction pamphlet show that the space should be over 1” to accommodate most of the bracket. The blade “fit” and snapped in, but I could tell it wasn’t right. There was too much play and the arm could separate from the blade by just bending the blade. Also the Trax’s arm is curved on the bottom, fitting perfectly into the OEM blades. Michelin’s website said that the 26” blade would fit. Oddly though, it said the passenger side was 14” instead of 16”.

I tried the Michelins from Costco one time. They streaked and chattered on the first use.

Same here. A few years ago I thought they were a great deal. Now they are both worth installing. Just pay a bit more for another brand.

Mine broke in 2 months. I dont even using ot much in summer
