With the holiday season upon us, over 40 million families are predicted to hit the road, according to the AAA, and many more will travel by car vs. plane. Driving is the still the number one choice of most Americans when it comes to taking the whole family on vacation, and today’s cars and technology make driving more fun and better than ever.
80% of your driving decisions are based on visibility and wiper blade are a critical part of seeing clearly and driving safely. Replace your blades every 6 months and replace them with the best blades. TRICO started the wiper industry over 100 years ago and has stayed on top of the latest technology.
If you experience winter, snow and ice, switch to winter wiper blades. I recommend TRICO Ice, they are a rugged and durable winter wiper blade designed specifically to combat severe weather and ice to give you the best visibility and safety. This beam blade is coupled with a special armor designed for the harshest elements and keep working in the worst driving conditions. You can purchase these blades online or at your favorite auto parts stores.
The average car on the road is 10-12 years old, those wiper arms have swiped millions of times. Over time the blade doesn’t contact the glass as intended because the wiper arm gets weak. The new TRICO High Mileage wiper blades are specially engineered to compensate for worn wiper arms on older and high mileage vehicles typically above 75,000 miles; utilizing the aero foil design the wind force to help increase proper pressure against windshield for maximum windshield contact. You can buy them online or in store. <www.TricoProducts.com>
