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”.

They’re Michelins. Work great.
I tried the Michelins from Costco one time. They streaked and chattered on the first use.
Settled on Michelins and quite happy with them tbh. I'd even argue the current Michelins are better than the old, better bosch wipers.
I’m running Michelins from Costco in my ‘22 Wilderness.
I just put some of the high end Michelins on ours. The OEM ones were absolutely garbage. They've been working great for months.
I bought a set of Michelin wipers from Amazon and they are really good
I use the more expensive Michelin blades and they get me through hurricane season just fine.
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
