Americus Recon CUV R601

OVERVIEW

The Americus Recon CUV R601 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Americus offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The tire promotes great all season traction. It combines the tread design and the all season compound to increase the dry, wet and winter grip. The symmetric pattern with the siping detail increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during the drive, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile conditions. The tread design's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. This maintains the road contact and further improves the wet and slushy weather performing safety.

The model's constant surface contact increases the model's controllability in versatile weather conditions. The tread's center rib keeps the tire's road contact, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The slotted shoulder block placement improves the cornering ability. These tread blocks enhance the cornering and maneuvering ability with extra biting edges. The extra grip boosts the tire's handling and driving security levels.

The Recon CUV R601 upgrades the comfort levels. The tread's optimal pitch sequence, with the curved siping pattern, manages to minimize the road and tread pattern noise levels. This design negates the soundwaves with an optimal sound frequency that decreases the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. The closer, maintained surface contact lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The constant surface contact allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving, lowering the road vibrations felt by the passengers. This combination ensures a comfortable and quiet driving experience.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
