well, mine have about 1000 miles and they are barely worn down.
I've ridden a decent amount of tar and done a lot of tire spinning on dirt.
They wear slowely for me.

Same here. I'm on my second set but only because I traded the last ATV in with them on (a mistake). Good all around tire at a good price.

I have had mine for almost a year, and look like brand new still.

Gravel roads, mud, street , you name it they have been ridden on it.

Only problem with them is if you ride in your backyard after it has been raining for a while the wife wants to kill ya.lol They dig up the ground very easy, very aggressive tire ........ I LOVE IT

I had the same issue with the stiffness on mine. I put them down to 3.5 lbs each. I try to run them over rocks at this pressure to wear them in. it does take a long time for them to start flexing more, but eventually they get more pliable. I'm going to put my stock tires on because the swamplights are just to heavy and clunky for my hill and rock climbing.

try keeping low pressure, but avoid heavy turning while your trying to break them in. that might help with the bead issue. Mine deflated at loaw pessure a couple of times, but I keep an air pump with me.
did you get 25" or 26"? the 26" are heavy and I wish I would've gone with the 25"s.
