Killer deal for Valeo Wipers on Tirerack

It's buy one, get one free from today 'til the end of the year. I wish I waited a couple weeks to get mine...

ugh, $10 to ship two windshield wipers kinda makes it more like: buy one, get another for 50% off

i've had my stock ones for close to 5 years now and I should probably replace them soon... anyone know if these Valeos are any good?

Dammit! I just ponied-up @ $40 for a pair of Bosch Icons at Kragen last month. And that was with their $4 off coupon.

I just put a set on so I don't have any real-world experiences yet, but they've been pretty good with "test wipes." They look pretty slick though, and very aerodynamic.

I got interested after seeing them on my boss' new M5.. they come stock on that beast.

Well, aside from the price, I think they look pretty slick. Nice spoiler shape to them, much sleeker. From 20ft they blend into the bottom of the windsheild visually. I work at an Acura dealer, and the new TSX and RDX come with something very similar. Overall, I think it's a nice touch to help "update" the looks of your car.

BTW, sybir turned me on to those, he highly recommends them.

I'll probably end up getting these soon, would be good in the snow.


I love how tirerack thinks an air intake for our cars will gain 39 hp.

maybe a pseudo-GB on them to save shipping?

or are they pricing the shipping PER blade...
