I'm not sure how you would measure it...you would need some kind of torque gauge mounted to the wiper arm/wiper transmission union to determine the force needed to swing the OE setup v/s the new wipers. maybe you could time the distance traveled/speed of one wiper from resting position-through range of travel-back to resting position on both types of wipers. if the speed/distance traveled is the same or close to it, then motor/transmission wear would be minimal...but to compound things, the windshield would have to be wet all the time to reduce/limit "dry drag" during the testing sequence.
It's not the brushes/bristles I'm worried about (that's not a lot of contact area), its the "double blade" set up that concerns me...
