About the Americus Recon Transit

Built tough for the work that never stops.

Best forCommercial van and light truck operators who need dependable wet-weather traction and high load capacity in daily work duty.

The Americus Recon Transit is a commercial-duty tire built for light trucks and vans that spend long hours on the job. It prioritizes wet-weather grip, load-carrying reliability, and structural toughness — making it a practical choice for fleet operators and tradespeople who need a tire that holds up under real working conditions.

The Recon Transit features a purpose-engineered tread pattern with wide circumferential grooves that evacuate water from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk and maintaining grip on wet pavement. A robust 10-ply construction gives the tire the structural integrity needed to handle high load demands, while the high load range rating supports maximum cargo capacity for commercial applications.

Questions about this tire

What does 235/65R16C 121R mean?

235 is the tread width in millimeters, 65 means the sidewall is 65% of that width, and R16 is the 16-inch rim it mounts on. 121 is the load index (3,197 lbs per tire), and R is the speed rating (up to 106 mph).

Is the Americus Recon Transit suitable for year-round use?

The Recon Transit is designed for general commercial service and handles wet and dry road conditions well. However, it does not carry a Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, so it is not rated for severe snow service. In regions with harsh winters, a dedicated winter or all-weather tire would be a safer choice for snow and ice.

What kind of vehicles does the Recon Transit fit?

This tire is designed for light trucks and commercial vans — the types of vehicles commonly used in delivery, trades, and fleet work. Check the specific size listings to confirm fitment for your vehicle, as the Recon Transit is currently stocked in 16-inch rim sizes.

How much weight can the Recon Transit carry?

The Recon Transit is built with a high load range and 10-ply construction to maximize load-carrying capacity for commercial use. Exact load ratings vary by size, so refer to the individual size specifications to confirm the load index for your application.

Does the Recon Transit come with a mileage warranty?

The Recon Transit is covered under the manufacturer's standard warranty rather than a specific mileage guarantee. Contact us or refer to Americus's warranty documentation for details on what is covered and for how long.

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.
