Wiper blades MICHELIN or Trico

I bought the Michelin blades for my 2020 outback at Costco on a sale. They all fit and haven't had any issues.

Trico Sentry blades fall into a good performance vs. price area for me.

I've had similar experiences and found the Trico Flex to be the "sweet spot" of performance, cost and availability.

I just bought the Tricos from Rock Auto. Fit perfectly. Snap. Done.

I buy Trico ExactFit or Trico Force from RockAuto. They are very affordable and have performed pretty well for me so far.

For winter, I tried Trico Ice.and they are awesome.

I've since switched to Trico Force, and I've been very happy with them. They work great and last me between 18 and 24 months.

At 5,000 miles I replaced the factory 4Runner blades with Trico Neoform beam blades (a B grade wiper in my book) and they still perform like brand new blades 10,000 miles later, including having been in the Florida heat followed by Connecticut ice, snow, and salt slurry.

just changed out the wiper blades on my 2004 Dodge Stratus SE and was surprised to see the new Michelin Optimum + blades missing a spot about the size of a fist in the middle of the passenger blade towards the end of its arc. I adjusted the blades, repositioned them, took them on and off, but nothing. I wound up putting on my old pair of blades, some Rain-X not sure what model, and even with some streaks no missed spots.

yea dude....those wipers are just junk, they're RUBBER not silicone, those rubber ones will wear out in just 1 season while Bosch icon ones are great.
