i have Valeo's Ultimate wiper on our 740 and pathfinder...they clean great! the wipe is even, and they even have a low profile shape to minimize wind resistance. out of the four wipers, only one chatters/skips every now and then in a light drizzle. they're still rather new so i can't tell you how durable they are, but i'm more than pleased with them. there's no metal in the makeup either so nothing to rust and destroy any cosmetic value.
unfortunately i think the smallest size is 17 so i can't put them on my mustang which takes 16s. also, the clip to snap the wiper in a locked position to the arm tends to be just a hair big. there are two ends to snap in, and one end pops out when you snap in the other
other than that, great buy! |

After 2 months on teh Gf car I can say that TOVI isn't that great
is not as bad as Pylon but it is a bit too hard, skips a lot, light or moderate rain |

I bought Arista blades for $60.00 each .I've been using them for the past 17 months and they still work great. Every time I wash the car I make sure to clean the blades. Maybe thats why they have lasted this long . |

^^^ actually that is something a lot of ppl do not do
you should wash\clean teh wipers whenever you wash car, this will extend teh life of the wiper blades |

| seriously though the michelins still as good as day one. very quiet and 1 wipe and the glass totally dry i starting to really like them. i thought it was the clear view glass treatment but i havent used that since last year on the car and the blades still going strong i could definately recommend these to fellow tuners. |

used michelins
on all 4 vehicles have them on for more than a year and they still work well
time to replace soon as i belive that wiper blades need to replace at least every year
if its good quality replace once a year say begiining of rainy season
if its cheaper quality then twice a year
beginning of rainy season and end of rainy season
june and dec
and you will never have issues
remember to clean you blades every time you wash the car and a little armorall or silicone spray on the blade itself after every wash helps keep the rubber soft |

I got my mitts on a pair of PIAA wipers off a foreign used car and decided to try them for kicks. They work great. I guess I'll be trying them on a little longer . |
