What are the different type of tire wear?

There's several types of tire wear, I'll list a few of the most common: Low tread inside outside with good tread in the center = Too low air pressure.

Heavy wear on outside of both tires = camber and/or tow adjustment out. Feathering or choppy wear = poor shocks and/or toe out of adjustment and/or unbalanced tire/s.

How often do ATV tires need to be replaced?

As a general rule, you should replace your tires when the tread wear indicator mark is equal to the tread (The tread wear indicator appears as a raised triangle, or the letters TWI on the side of the tire). All ATV tires have a different tread life, depending on the application they are used for. And when used in applications they are not meant for, tires will wear more quickly. For instance, using a mud tire to ride on the road will wear out the tire much faster than using it in the mud.
