Review summary

AI-generated from verified customer reviews.

The Americus Sport HP tires receive generally positive reviews for their performance, comfort, and value.

The Americus Sport HP tires appear to offer good performance and value for most driving conditions. They excel in dry and wet conditions, providing a smooth and quiet ride. However, their performance in winter conditions is a significant drawback, with some users reporting very poor traction in snow and ice. Tread life seems to vary, with some users experiencing good longevity while others found it lacking.

Positive highlights

Smooth and comfortable ride. Good handling and road grip, especially at high speeds. Excellent performance in both wet and dry conditions. Great value for the price. Quiet operation. Good tread wear in some cases.

Negative highlights

Poor performance in snow and ice conditions, despite being advertised as all-season tires. Some users reported short tread life (around 30,000 miles).

Good Year Round

84 Miles a day for 6 1/2months on a 08' Honda Fit Sport. After the first six months, they still had about half the tread and went even further than after the tread was near bald. A great buy.

Great tires. They're quiet, hug the road at high speed, great on wet or dry pavement and still look like they did when I received them. Will definitely order them again
