Need to replace the front wiper blades, anyone have any good recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Michelin "Stealth" best blade I've used and very quiet, not cheap though.

I saw something one on YouTube about silicone wiper blades, lasting much longer than rubber and much better but never tried them.

Anyone else tried the silicone blades? 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue
2005 4.2L Supercharged Java Black - gone but was my first love.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

I tried silicone ones a few years back when I had my FTO (group buy) Great wipers but didn`t last any longer than any others. Steve.

I've used PIAA silicon wipers on all my vehicles now for a few years as I've found them to outlast my previous Bosch ones, they are much quieter (no squealing and end of travel/direction change clicking) and the silicon coating left does help the rain run off. On the RRS it's the PIAA Si Tech - expensive, but I really do think worth it. I'd guess most silicon types may be the same, but I've had good performance from PIAA so stick with them. 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine

Like Insiorc, I also use the PIAA Silicone tech flat aero wiper blades, and I feel that they out perform the Bosch Aero wipers in every way, and for me last longer. (Mind you they are much more expensive. Big Cry ) John

Another vote for Bosch Aero - on my second set and cannot fault them. Good deal at EuroCarParts on this link https://www.eurocarparts.com/wiper-blades?...0wodE2wKdA
33% off and free delivery.
P.S. I have no connection with these suppliers - just like their prices and free delivery.
