vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or OEM Volvo
We use some Michelin ones and they work great for the price they are.
Pros: great performance for price
I wore through my stock ones and got the michelin stealth or something. got the pair open box on amazon for 40. They've been great.
Pros: great performance
I but some Michelin wipers this spring and was impressed at how good they are. Would definitely try them again
Pros: impressed, very good
But now I went with Michelin blades from Costco and so smooth and silent.
Pros: smooth, silent
I bought replacement wiper blades from Costco, the Michelin brand. They come with an adapter. I think they were $8 on sale
Pros: come with adapter
sometimes I think it gets itself into a feedback loop. It's like the sensor detects the wiper itself as rain and speeds up, which will lead the sensor to detect the wiper again and speeds up further. Now thinking about it; I don't think I have had this issue recently and I did change the wiper blades in the spring, so maybe that helped.
Pros: new wiper blades helped
Cons: feedback loop, speeds up
Vehicle:
Volvo V90
I tried the Michelins and they streaked and juddered/chattered. 1 star out of 5. The Icons are terrific.
Pros: Icons are terrific
Cons: streaked and juddered
Michelin are garbage, living in the PNW I spend the money on Bosch.
Pros: Bosch are good
Cons: Michelin are garbage
The Michelin ones Costco sells are fine for the price, but they suck compared to Icons.
Pros: fine for the price
Cons: suck compared to Icons
You're going to be replacing them every year, if not twice a year. They are trash, trust me I used to buy these for all of my cars. Use the Icon's or similar silicon-based windshield wipers. They cost a little more but they provide longevity & clarity.
Pros: Icon's provide longevity
Cons: They are trash
