i found this post about them
My old tires were nitto mud grapplers, and I like them alot more than those. Im not exactly sure about the depth of the tread, but they are big lugs of rubber. I havent been through thick florida mud with them, but they seemed to keep pretty clean from what i went through. They kept grabbing, and they are a pretty soft tire (compared to my grapplers). They are definately alot quieter on the road, and the milage is about the same. I havent run on them for more than 1,000 miles even, so its too early to tell about tread wearing. But I have gotten many compliments on them. The only negative I have is that Discount Tire said that they were almost impossible to balance. I am going to take them to 4wheelparts to see if they can do a better job, because at freeway speed I feel a little offbalanceness. Not enough to do anything, it just doesnt feel quite the same to me. In conclusion, great tire. And I am not a Super Swamper lover, not only for pure mud and rocks.

I know of only one guy on here that has them, he's from Louisiana too. I don't think he ever gets on b/c I've asked him how they are wearing. Interco tire (co. that makes swampers) is located about an hour away from here...I might call the company and see what people are reporting. I want to run these tires too if I can make them last longer (I can get them at cost) than these Kumho's so far about 16k miles and half tread is gone.
