The tread wear on Continental tires varies by model and type, but they generally feature indicators to help assess tread depth. Most Continental tires have a tread wear indicator that becomes visible when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch, signaling that it's time to replace the tire. Regularly checking the tread depth is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and safety. Always refer to the specific tire model for detailed specifications.

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.
