Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Volvo

I'm in the souther interior of BC and I'm finding the Costco Michelins to be much better than the stock VW for about half the price.

I recently bought the Michelin Guardians Plus Hybrid from Costco and it's pretty great. It was only $7 or $8 per blade. It's noticeably quieter and smoother than stock for rain.

Michelin endurance XT. Love them.

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

I use Michelin. Never had an issue

I have them (cheap Michelins) on two cars, no noise at all. I've had better performing blades, but not for the price.

Michelin wiper blades are horrible.

I paid multiple times that last time and they are streaking a few months later. These are Michelins.

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.
