The Bosch icon and it’s not even close. The only wipers I put on my car.
I can't recommend this enough, Bosch Icon OE.
I'm another backer if Bosch Icon.
Bosch Icons I work at auto parts store by far the best option I install many sets a week. I sell 99% Bosch icons.
The Michelin guardian beam blades they sell are super cheap and seem like pretty decent quality. They come with an adapter that works with modern Subarus.
Ik zweer bij Bosch Aerotwin ruitenwissers, die hebben bij al mijn auto's nog nooit gepiept.
I’ve grabbed the Michelin wiper blades at Costco less than half the cost of cheap blades from Supercheap. And they lasted me 4 years from the old pair.
Bosch blades seem to work OK for me, there are things I was doing wrong before, causing premature wear (e.g., “dry wipes” to get rid of bugs or debris, being a lazy sod and using wipers to speed up defrosting the windscreen).
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 bought, this past winter, some Bosch wipers and they have deteriorated over the Texas summer. Also the passenger side wiper, packaged as 12" was actually 13" hitting the window frame.
