michelin blades work good but i have one problem with them. I does be on the valencia stretch daily(every 5 vehicle is a truck) and the blades cant take the jamming from them dust/mud and any solid thing sticking to the glass. used 2 pairs and they get very minute cut if they go over sharp things stuck to the glass. it leaves small arcs on the glass where it dont wipe because of the cuts. the rubber is too soft for removing sand off the glass.


definately, i know what you mean on that road. wipers last like 1/2 their intended life on that road. or you could just use reallll plenty windshield washer fluid..

so I sold my car that used teh Michelins

they were wiping well when I sold teh car

teh set on teh other lancer is still wiping streak-free, but not screech-free

makes a lil screech when light amount of water is on teh glass

I went back to HS on the L200 though

at $30.00 a piece, they work well to change every year

^^^Yeah, 150 for one right? (Valpark's price is ridiculous). The frameless wiper blades are better bacause of their shape. The portion that holds the blade to the glass is slightly flexible, so as to allow dirt and debre to bounce off. Compared to normal wiper blades with the frame, debre can get stuck inbetween the frame's holes and cause scratches to "appear" on your glass. The frameless wiper blades also are designed to propel the water off the wiper blade as it comes into contact with it. So if there's a heavy shower and you turn them on, the water on the glass is actually scooped away and thrown to the right side of the vehicle.

Take a look here:
These are the Rain X blades.

They hold up well at highway speed too (80km/s) and
