how do i determine which size is which? does 122 = 1 22" wiper?
Hopefully this link will work for you...

http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...=a_WiperBlades

I ordered one pair at the sale price and they work better than anything else I've purchased at local parts stores. I haven't tried any other premium blades.

It's too early to tell if they will last any longer than the cheapie blades but the wiping action is smoother and the low profile is less intrusive when driving. I took a chance and ordered two more pairs at the sale price just to have handy for next year.

i was acutally wondering on the amazon site specifically. cuz the description doesnt seem to list actual measuremnts, so i was wondering if Silbalde 122 meant 22" wiper.

+1 for the valeos. They're worth every penny of their msrp, and with the tire rack deal, they just can't be beat. I have a set on my vue, my bimmer, and my gf's focus. They rock.

Just ordered a set of Valeo's. Couldn't resist the price on Tire Rack. I'll let you guys know how they do in the tahoe snow.

Anyone have a recommendation on where to get the Piaa wipers? Ordering a pair on tirerack.com ends up being close to $48.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check them out later. Any idea how much Subydude is selling them for?
