How do these compare to the OEM rubber mats?

here is what I can tell you, mine are custom fitted; yet, I can put them on top of my standard carpet mats. I have a one piece for the back seat that goes all the way across the back seat hump on the floor. Love it. Pricey but great!Dave

I've never seen oem mats that cover the entire floor, the inside of the door threshold, and have significant raised edges (that dont get in the way). Live in Chicago area and have weathertech (front and back seats) in my Lexus SUV and Nissan Maxima. Without them, my carpets would be trashed, at the very least on the edges of typical mats and the back seat hump. In my cars the weathertech rear seat is one piece that also covers the hump.

These mats are superior to anything I have ever seen. They fit perfectly and look great. I just love them.

They are far superior to the OEM mats. These are the best mats - they fit perfectly and cover more area so if it rains or snows the carpet is protected. They are easy to clean. They have been worth every penny.

no comparison - much better protect the carpeting well. Recommend vacuuming as needed and using protective coating TO EXTEND life.

The Weather tech are more like a form fitting tray. They have sides so the water or dirt does not spill over the sides on to your carpet. They fit really well and are not intrusive to your foot room.

Not sure, I only have the factory cloth mats. The weather tech mats did a great job keeping the floor clean during this past brutal winter however.

These mats are really good. They fit great and they are much better than the rubber mats that you regularly use for cars. These are very durable and designed to last a lot of years. Assembly and cleaning are a easy. Definitely a must have if you want to keep your car clean.

They should fit fine, I have a 2014 honda accord, and they fit perfectly. The instructions say to trim the edges, but I left them as is and the edges help protect an extra inch or so around the actual mat

The back covers are soft grip rubber (TPU). They have way better grip than the plastic original backs.

i think the only difference is the thickness (and price as you mentioned). I went cheap and bought the thinner version because no matter what i have to use two mats.

Had them for quite a while now and no tearing but I know what you mean about your originals after 5 years or so. These come with the plastic clips that go into the floor with the velcro on them to keep the mats in place. They are very nice but they do have that sticky foam on the back.

These are made of rubber and fit exactly over the carpet mats that come standard with the vehicle.

I took off my carpet mats and replaced them with these. The front mats may not lay well, or at all, if you leave the carpet mats in place. However in the back I'm sure you could leave the original carpet mats but I removed them. Why not just take them away?

Yes, they are direct replacements for my four original mats, which were becoming worn. These even have the Toyota name on them. I bought them for my 4Runner.

Yes- I even left the original mat underneath and it covered fine. They were all good quality rubber mats.

I bought a Spoonk mat about 2 yrs ago then another one 3 months ago. I can not tell any difference in the quality of the mats. They both are very high quality.

It is black rubber like the oem version that molds to the body panels. Very little of it shows.

They are a perfect fit for the Optima. They use the hooks that the carpet floor mats us. I believe they are oem from Kia. A little hard to hook in but an exact fit. I'm very happy with them. Was looking at weather tech mats but these are half the price.

My accord sport came from the dealer with awful bare bones floor mats. They were not gonna stay! I researched these on amazon and they arrived quick and were a perfect fit. They are fully 100% molded rubber and fit perfectly into the factory gromets. They have the Accord logo and are sold as an OEM piece. Occasionally you can take them out of the car and hose them off with a bit of soapy water and let dry. A worthy investment for a new car.

I cannot comment directly on vinyl floors, but I can vouch for the precision with which these are made. I believe the good snug fit has more to do with the excellent cut and mold of the mat. If you order the mat applicable to your vehicle, I don't believe you will have a problem.

They were a perfect fit for my 2012. I believe they are actually the OEM mats. I don't think anything has changed to 2014, but I am not positive of that.

I have yet to see any tears on mine which I have owned for a few months. I'm not sure about the rubber degrading more than any other type of mat. All rubber will wear over time
