Used Mich Deserts for 26,000km London-Cape Town via both west & East Africa & I swear by them.
My wife and I were both on KTM's ... over the whole distance had only 2 punctures between us!! - both because I hadn't put in a rim lock on the front tyre so when I reduced the pressure for soft sand the tyre rotated on the rim tearing the tube valve.
Only downside is that the front wears a bit fast on tarmac when you are loaded - I found the best combination was a Desert on rear and Metzler Karoo on front (not quite as good in deep sand but acceptable). The rear got great mileage ... at least 12,000km.
