The typical lifespan for a swamper is about 10,000 miles.  when I sold
tires, swamper customers usually came in once a year for tires. It is the
price you pay for the high traction soft compound and small contact area
that makes the swamper so awesome off road. That is why when I stepped up to
swampers I bought an extra set of wheels and only mount them when I'm
wheeling. The $150 cost of wheels quickly pays for itself by not tearing up
my street tires(at's) off road, and not wearing out my off road tires on the
street.

If it was safe, it wouldn't be fun!
