Americus Recon Tires

Founded in 1900, Americus is an all-American tire brand produced by the American Omni Trading Company. It rolls out tires for passenger cars, CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks under its Americus Recon family. Backed by solid limited manufacturer warranties and a 25/365 Limited Protection Policy, the Recon family umbrella has all sorts of tires, right from all-season and highway to UHP.

Let’s have a detailed look at different tire lines falling under the Recon badge.

Americus Recon Tour

Designed for sedans, CUVs, and SUVs, the Americus Recon Tour is a great budget replacement tire option as it offers great traction, handling, and stability performance throughout the year. Backed by a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Americus all-season, touring tire is tuned to reduce noise and vibration levels for a quiet and comfortable ride. While the five-rib tread pattern boosts handling and steering response, the optimized tread profile and pitch sequence reduce road noise and vibrations.

With multiple circumferential grooves and dense sipes, the Americus Recon Tour allows better evacuation of water from the tread to reduce the risk of hydroplaning and boost wet and light snow performance. With a decent SimpleScore of 8 out of 10, the Recon Tour shines with fantastic scores of 7.8, 8.1, and 8 in traction, handling, and longevity, respectively. It is a good fit for vehicles like the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Honda Civic Type R, Porsche Boxster, and Subaru WRX.

Americus Recon CUV

An all-season tire, the Americus Recon CUV is another great replacement tire option for car owners looking for a reliable and cost-efficient option that can be used year-round. Designed for use on CUVs and SUVs, the Recon CUV features an optimized tread pattern that reduces road noise and vibration, so you enjoy a quiet and comfortable ride. While the silica-based rubber compound boosts longevity and traction by limiting uneven wear, the wide grooves of the Americus tire clear water quickly to avoid the risk of hydroplaning and improve wet traction.

Backed by a solid 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Recon CUV scores 8.1 in its overall SimpleScore. The Americus tire achieves decent performance in traction, handling, and longevity, with scores of 7.6, 7.9, and 8.9, respectively. It is a good replacement option for vehicles like the BMW X3, Buick Envision, Chevrolet Equinox, Dodge Charger, and Ford Escape.

Americus Recon H/T

Designed for light trucks, the Americus Recon H/T is a commercial tire that delivers enhanced traction, grip, and longevity in dry, wet, and light snowy conditions. With commercial-grade construction, the Recon H/T features a multi-ply casing to bear heavy loads while maintaining its shape. While the optimized zigzag siping boosts braking and traction performance, the large longitudinal grooves clear water from the tread to mitigate the risk of hydroplaning and improve wet handling.

With a solid shoulder pattern, the Recon H/T resists irregular wear and improves its hauling capability. With a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Americus Recon H/T achieves an overall SimpleScore of 7.6 with decent ratings of 7.5, 8.1, and 7.2 for traction, handling, and longevity, respectively. It’s a good option for trucks such as the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon, Jeep Wrangler, and Toyota Tacoma.
