Wiper blades PIAA or MICHELIN

I've recently put the Michelin Costco wipers on and they're great! These cost me CAD $10 per front blade.

I am a fan of Michelin wiper blades

PIAA silicone blades. They last for years.

FWIW, I found the stock wipers I had pulled off the car before really using them to go with the PIAAs. Not sure why, but the stock work so much better than the PIAAs, which were really starting to pi%s me off. Anyway, thanks to the contributors to this thread...it didn't even dawn on me to put the OEMs back on...though it was a design flaw with the wiper arm not having enough tension on it or something.

Silicon blades are the way to go. They last way longer and have a cleaner wipe which is why you don't see them at most retail locations.

Just installed the PIAA blades and they are significantly better than the OEMs in my opinion. They're quieter and no skipping.

I invested in some new wiper blades... michelin stealth... They work so nicely, and so quiet! Also look way better than OEM.

PIAA 95055 Super Silicone Wiper Blades are the best damn wiper blades I've ever used. Really recommend them.

PSA: don’t get the Michelin blades sold at Costco. They fit fine in the arm but they seem to be taller and the wiper arms do not fit under the hood when turned off and hit the hood.

Got Michelin wipers from Costco, seemed good deal but performed poorly out of the box.
