Has anyone had any experience with this tire? Walmart has them currently on sale for $62.02/ea and I'm looking to see if anyone knows how good (or bad) they are.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Americus-Touring-Plus-165-80R15-87T-Passenger-Tire/183723260?athbdg=L1300

I did do a search and only one mention of them (different tire same brand) being put on a baja bug.

Thanks for any help!

Nexen and Toyo make tires in that size.

If Walmart sells ‘em, they gotta be good. Right?
At least you can buy a warranty.

Nexen SB802 are the only ones I run on my Supers. Good tread, keep them balanced, car aligned, air pressure, they'll last. The Americus treads look like Nankangs or Federal Fermoza, which are shit in my experience. And I've used them all on my cars, except for Americus.
