About the Americus Recon Tour

Quiet miles, confident grip, every season.

Best forEveryday drivers of sedans, CUVs, and SUVs seeking a comfortable, low-noise all-season tire with reliable wet-weather traction and long tread life.

The Americus Recon Tour is an all-season touring tire built for sedans, CUVs, and SUVs. It delivers confident traction and responsive handling across dry, wet, and light winter conditions, making it a practical year-round choice for drivers who prioritize a smooth, quiet ride without sacrificing everyday capability.

An asymmetrical five-rib tread pattern supports precise steering response and stable handling. Wide circumferential grooves and dense siping channel water away efficiently, helping resist hydroplaning in wet conditions and maintaining grip in light snow. Computer-tuned pitch sequencing and an optimized tread profile work together to minimize road noise and vibration. The Recon Tour carries a 70,000-mile limited tread life warranty.

Questions about this tire

What does 195/50R16 84V mean?

195 is the tread width in millimeters, 50 means the sidewall is 50% of that width, and R16 is the 16-inch rim it mounts on. 84 is the load index (1,102 lbs per tire), and V is the speed rating (up to 149 mph).

How well does the Recon Tour handle road noise on the highway?

The Recon Tour uses computer-optimized pitch sequencing across its tread blocks to break up the repeating patterns that cause road noise. Combined with an optimized tread profile, the result is a noticeably quieter, more comfortable ride at highway speeds.

How does the Recon Tour perform in wet conditions?

The tire's wide circumferential grooves and angled siping work together to evacuate water from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Shoppers can expect solid wet-road confidence in rain and light standing water, though dedicated performance summer tires may edge it out in extreme downpours.

Can the Recon Tour handle light snow?

Yes — the dense siping and groove design provide meaningful grip in light snow and slushy conditions. However, the Recon Tour is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so drivers in regions with heavy snowfall or frequent icy roads should consider a dedicated winter tire for those months.

Is the 70,000-mile warranty a reliable indicator of tread life?

The 70,000-mile limited tread life warranty reflects Americus's confidence in the tire's durability under normal driving conditions. Actual mileage will vary based on driving habits, vehicle alignment, inflation maintenance, and road surfaces, so keeping up with routine tire care will help you get the most out of that coverage.

What vehicles is the Recon Tour a good fit for?

The Recon Tour is designed for sedans, CUVs, and SUVs, and TFS Wheels stocks it in 20 sizes spanning 15" to 19" rim diameters. Use the size selector to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.

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.
