I plugged in Michelin Wiper blades on Amazon to see the reviews. They seem to be ok(not great). I'll see if this link works:

Mine would chatter and skip from day one. And yes my windshield was clean, and the blades were clean.

Switched to Rain X a few months ago, haven't had any problems.
 
I had the same experience as stranger706. I've tried the Michelin blades twice. Both times I was sorry. The ANCO/SuperTech blades are much better.

Several years ago I tried a set from Walmart and they were teriffic. Eventually, replaced them with a second set and they were absolutely terrible. Haven't used them again.
 
The cheaper ones are no good. They chatter and squeak. The Stealth ones are good.

Michelin tires are awesome. Their blades which really the old Pylon brand with the name licensed from Michelin are cheaply made. Bosch Excel+ or Icon is my favorite these days since the Trico Exact Fit have cheapened up as well.
 
I bought a pair of the Michelins about 2 weeks ago and they've already turned to c r a p. I wish they'd get the Ancos back...why did they stop selling them anyway?

I agree, if you can get the Stealth ones with a rebate or on sale they are decent for the money.

Me too, but mine chatter in cold weather, below 32F.

Supertech blades are the Anco 31s

It could certainly vary vehicle-to-vehicle, but in my experience, they're absolutely atrocious (ridiculous chatter). Walmart also carries the Bosch Steel Tech, which is the same price and far superb (smooth, quiet wipe).
 
I don't understand why companies are willing to besmirch their brand by putting their name on garbage like these wiper blades...Michelin is synonymous with quality...but I guess not when it comes to wiper blades...that seems to be the thing these days, companies with a rep of producing premium products allowing their name to be used on junk just so it will sell...

I'll guess I'll have to go back to those then...
