About the Americus Recon CUV

Everyday Confidence, Mile After Mile

Best forCrossover and SUV drivers seeking reliable all-season traction, a quiet ride, and long tread life in mixed everyday driving conditions.

The Americus Recon CUV is an all-season tire built specifically for crossovers and SUVs. It delivers dependable grip in both wet and dry conditions, backed by a 60,000-mile tread life warranty. With 44 sizes spanning 15- to 22-inch rim diameters, it fits a wide range of CUV and SUV applications and is engineered to balance everyday traction, longevity, and ride comfort.

The Recon CUV uses a silica-enriched rubber compound that improves grip on wet and dry pavement while resisting uneven wear for extended tread life. A symmetrical tread pattern with wide circumferential and angled grooves channels water away from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk. The tread pitch is tuned to minimize road noise and dampen vibrations for a quieter, more comfortable cabin experience.

Questions about this tire

What does 235/70R15 103H mean?

235 is the tread width in millimeters, 70 means the sidewall is 70% of that width, and R15 is the 15-inch rim it mounts on. 103 is the load index (1,929 lbs per tire), and H is the speed rating (up to 130 mph).

How does the Recon CUV perform in wet weather?

The tire's silica-rich compound maintains grip on wet pavement, and the wide circumferential and angled grooves work together to push water out from under the tread. This design reduces the risk of hydroplaning during rain. For extreme winter conditions like deep snow or heavy ice, a dedicated winter tire will outperform any all-season.

What kind of tread life can I expect from the Recon CUV?

Americus backs the Recon CUV with a 60,000-mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. The silica compound is formulated to resist uneven wear, which helps the tire reach that mileage potential when properly maintained with regular rotations and correct inflation.

Is the Recon CUV a quiet tire for daily commuting?

Yes. The tread pitch is specifically tuned to keep road noise at a low level, making it a comfortable choice for daily driving and highway cruising. Ride vibrations are also dampened by the tread design, contributing to a smoother feel inside the cabin.

Can the Recon CUV be used on a light truck?

The Recon CUV is technically compatible with some light truck applications, but it is optimized for smaller crossovers and SUVs rather than full-size trucks. If you drive a larger or heavily loaded truck, you may want to consider a tire rated and designed specifically for light truck use.

Does the Recon CUV handle snow and winter driving?

As an all-season tire, the Recon CUV is designed to handle light winter conditions such as cold temperatures and light snow. It does not carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, so it has not been tested to the severe-snow service standard. Drivers in regions with harsh winters or frequent heavy snowfall should consider a dedicated winter or all-weather tire.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
