What are pros and cons of directional tires?
"directional tires" refers to tire with eitherasymmetrical or rotational tread patterns.Pros of rotational tires:1) generally better resistance to hydroplaning than traditional tread patterns2) generally better stopping than traditional tread patterns3) generally better heat dispersal than traditional tread patterns4) typically look pretty niftyCons of rotational tires:1) cannot "cross" during tire rotation2) if used for a full-size spare, likely to lose benefits in "pros"3) Are more likely to be "performance tires" (check with your tire seller) with a shorter expected tread life than some other tires. This is not always so.Pros of asymmetrical tires:1) Typically better cornering stability2) Allows for multi-compound tread for reduced shoulder wear (longer tread life at the edges) and better temperature controlCons of asymmetrical tires:1) must be replaced exclusively in pairs (axle sets) to prevent 'tire pull'
Should I purchase all new tires at the same time; or should I rotate the back to the front in an attempt to get more tread life out of them?
Generally when purchasing tires for a vehicle how many you should purchase depends on the type of vehicle you drive. For all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles it is recommended to replace all four tires at a time to be sure all tread patterns match. For front or rear wheel drive vehicles the tires on both the front and rear axle should match each other and can be purchased in sets of two if needed. Tire rotation is generally done to maintain the tread life on your tires and tread life warranty from the manufacturer if any. Without rotating your tires they will suffer from excessive treadwear that can lead to early replacement. Tires should be rotated at intervals of every 6,000 to 7,000 miles or every second oil change to maximize tire life, rotating tires is designed to extend your tires life and won't help if your tires already need replacing.
How can I find out when it is time to but new tires?
Many tires have tread wear indicator bars molded into the tread. When the tread is worn down to where you can see a solid bar of rubber across the width of the tread, it is time to replace the tire.

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.
