check your bearings .............. Lift the front and spin the tire and listen , it should be fairly quiet . If not the bearing is out . You will get grinding noise and be loud . I replaced my mudterrains and was the bearings ...The bearings are a sealed unit , 170.00 from dealer , after market is cheaper if you can find it . Have to replace the lock nut , take out nut , slip out bearing housing and put new one , put nut back and rim and done ........

How many times did you rotate them in 12,000 miles?

Super Swampers are very rotation sensitive. What I mean is if you don't rotate them enough they wear out quick as he11, and they get loud as he11 due to the uneven wear. A friend of mine got 54000 miles out of a set of 34x10.50/17 Swamper LTBs on his F-250 rotating them every oil change. And my sister only got 20000 miles or so out of the set of the same tires on her Ram rotating them twice because they wore so bad they shook her running boards loose twice.

P.S. If you wanted a quiet tire, you probably shouldn't have bought a Swamper!

Interco Tire Co. is the parent company but that brand of tire is Super Swamper. The specific tire you bought is a Super Swamper Trxus M/T. Interco Tire Co. also owns Denman (Ground Hawgs) and M&H Racemaster (drag slicks.

Probably just a defect in the tire a shifted belt or something.
