I've used mostly Leki pole tips and recently the Cascade Mountain tips that come glued onto the Cascade Mountain Carbon poles. Read somewhere, can't remember where, that tips from one of the pole companies, whether Black Diamond, Leki or Komperdell, are superior in durability. Anyone find that to be true? Are the tips from all 3 companies interchangeable?

My anecdotal evidence is that the Leki pole tips have worn the best, but, as always….YMMV.
BD tips with the round carbide tip slip off rocks, and, lack the bite of the tips with the + shaped carbide tip.
They aren't as good as the leki tips, imho.
I'm with Willie. The BD tips don't even last 200 miles, whereas I had an old pair of Leki's that would NOT wear out. Wish I could put Leki tips on BD Z-Poles, but I don't think that would work…
