Hey, Shane - over the past 15 years my Cruisers have got through lots of BFGs, a couple of rotations of Bridgestone Desert Duellers, and some Pirelli Scorpions. A mix of fast tar, round town (with epic African pot-holes), and probably more than average off road ranging from desert to volcanic to black cotton soil wet and dry, and pretty much everything in between. I estimate I've driven 250,000 kms in my various LCs over that time. On average, I would say that my tyres last 50,000 Kms with the usage they get. That doesn't include the three virtually new tyres ripped to pieces on a crossing of the Marsabit shield volcano.
The Comforsers were fitted new by the guy I bought the 105 from as part of my negotiation with him. So I didn't pay for them, and I didn't get much choice in the matter. They worked out at approx USD200 per boot, rather than the USD400 a BFG costs in Kenya, so that's in their favor. I have the Mud Track tread, which to be honest is way chunkier than I need.
Downsides: They are really heavy tyres, with terrible 'natural balance' (the wheel guys used over a kilo of lead to get them running smoothly) - which of course reflects lower manufacturing quality, as you'd expect. They are a lot noisier than the BFG A/T on my 80 - but that's a function of the tread pattern. There's a particular, insistent noise at about 90kph, and on certain road surfaces. And I suspect they dragged the fuel consumption up, though I can't give a number on that since I've only owned the vehicle with these tyres on, and didn't drive it much before I bought it.
Upside: They're strong tyres. I've done about 10,000 kms so far, much on some rough tracks (including on volcanic rock, which is a tyre killer), and there's not a scratch on them yet. The tread is wearing reasonably well. I run them at 3.2 Bar (46PSI), and they grip well in the wet.
Conclusion; If I had another thousand dollars spare to spend next time I change tyres, I might go back to BFGs. But so far, the Comforser M/T are wearing well, dealing with the terrain, and rolling smoothly on wet roads and dry. I don't know what the price differential is in the UK, but for half the price of the best, I reckon they are better than half as good.
Let me know if you want any other detail.
Best regards,
Rob
