[s-cars] aero blade wipers?

[Wylie Bean]

I may get flogged for this, but I've had a set of ANCOs I picked up in a Wal-Mart on the other side of Memphis TN at about 3AM on the drive back to NC from picking the car up in San Diego over 3 years ago.  They're just now starting to show signs of wear.

Have the same Michelins on my car.  Passenger seems fine, though I
don't look out of it, but I get the same dead spot in the center of
the driver's side.  I've been having problems with my squirts, which
is now resolved, so that should help.  Once it gets real wet, they
clean up just fine, but when it's light rain I get a few skips with
it.  Might be the curvature of the windshield, might just be that they
suck.

I usually go for the cheapies and replace them twice a year.  Last
time I spent big bucks on BOSCH blades (because I like being able to
see) and they were damaged and useless within a few weeks.  Some bug
guts had apparently taken a chunk out of the blade and thereafter left
a line everytime I turned them on.  Swapped passenger side (cheapo)
with driver side, and everything was happy.

On that note, I believe I'm using the wrong size passenger wiper.
What's the recommended or stock size?  The books at the FLAPS had one
size for Triflex (or whatever) and another for michelin.  I went with
the michie recommended size and it seems way too big.
