Does the tread pattern of a tire need to match the others if you want to change one?

No, that is not necessary. Just make sure you install exactly the same size tire on all 4 wheels.

Why do racing cars not have treads?

Do tires have to have the same tread pattern?

No. It depends on the purpose of a tyre e.g. one designed for use for high performance will have smaller void ratios to ensure more rubber is in contact with the road. Related link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tires#Tread


Can an accident to the rear tire cause a bad transfer case?

If the vehicle is all wheel drive, having one tire that is smaller than the others (different size or less tread) can damage a transfer case.If the vehicle is all wheel drive, having one tire that is smaller than the others (different size or less tread) can damage a transfer case.


Is it possible to rotate tires on staggered wheels if you just rotate the fronts with the fronts and rears with the rears?

Well, the answer is maybe - it depends on the type of tire you are using. Some tires are either asymmetrical or unidirectional. Asymmetrical tires have a tread pattern such that the tire has a distinct "outside" and "inside" - that is, the tire must be mounted such that the outside part of the tread faces the outside of the wheel. These tires can rotate in either direction. Unidirectional tires have a tread pattern that requires the tire to rotate in one direction only. This type of pattern may help direct water better and can be seen on many wet-weather specific tires. Note the unidirectional tire has a tread pattern that will funnel water away when rotating in one direction and suck water in when rotating in the "wrong" direction. So you can "rotate" or swap your fronts and rears on a staggered fitment if you are using universal or asymmetrical treat patterns, but not if you are using unidirectional tread patterns. Just swapping the front wheels left to right might help a little - especially if your car has different alignment specs for the left and right, but it's unlikely to be of significant benefit compared to being able to rotate all four wheels.


What is the different sings of a tire wear?

One of the signs of tire wear is when you see the tread disappearing and falling off. If you check your tires you may notice that one or more has very little tread left. Different signs of tire wear also include seeing the steel belt coming through the rubber, and your ride feeling a bit rougher.
