Anyone have any experience with Conforser tyres?
I sort of need to buy some new tyres for the truck.
Currently, there are Grabber AT's on the back two and part-worn road tyres on the front. I am looking out to be doing a bit of greenlaning shortly and I think I should be getting some new shoes for the beast to wear.
I've been doing some searching around and have come across some options:
* General Grabber AT (like on the back 2)
* BF Goodridge KO2
* Cooper Discoverer AT3
* Conforser CF1000 AT
Natch, they all vary in specs... But the last one, the Conforser, is cheaper and reports pretty low resistance. Anyone have any experience with them? Or would I be better just shelling out and getting either a full set of Grabber AT3 or BFG?
Your opinions please?

my two choices of all time
durability and longevity always Duratracs = awesome ride, awesome looks pretty good fuel consumption, superb handling in all conditions but getting a bit loud and might cause vibrations over 55K
second choice Michelin CrossClimate SUV on now -- done a few K on them an so far superb ride, super quie, awesome fuel consumption over 5MPG plus over DT, excellent handling on dry and wet tbc on snow this winter

Comforser are a Chinese tyre.
I'd either stick Grabber ATs on to match the other end - perfectly decent tyre used by many. Or swap out and fit Grabber AT3. The AT3 is a better tyre all round than the AT in my experience.
If you're planning to do lots of greenlaning, then maybe a second set of wheels wearing something like the Duratrac (or BFG if you can fit 18s to your Disco), and a set of Michelin CrossClimate SUV for road use.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
