I bought a used Acura last year. It had sentury 235/45 r17 UHP tires. I need to change the front tires as one of them got damaged. However I am not finding Sentury tires near me, the available ones in my budget ($100 per tire) are following:

Antares
Continental
General
Falken
Kumho

Please suggest me which one should I buy. I appreciate your time!

Continentals are the only reputable good quality brand in that list... the rest are shit.

I have just found Sentury tires here. Is Sentury is a good, reliable brand?

In this tire size, sub-$100, doubtful you will get any of us to agree on anything being a "good, reliable brand". Out of the brands listed, Continental is "usually" the best. General is "probably" next with Falken and Kumho behind it.....although all three of these can be all over the place depending on the specific tire model being looked at. I have owned General and Kumho tires in the past and they were "OK" but far from great. I have never heard of Antares.

I see. I am very new to all this, just got my driver's license last year (at the same time when I bought my car). The car came with Sentury tires, do you think I should upgrade to better tires?

hit up a used tire store.
grab you a decent brand of tires with fairly good amount of tread left.

Be sure to replace all four of your tires at the same time! Why would you want to have different amount of grip front to back for normal use?

Continental are the best on the list, unless you need winter tire's then General Altimax Arctic's are great!

Most of us will always say "YES" to this question.......but.....this is a decision you have to make based on your needs, wants, and budget. What I call a "good" tire, many here will see it as a "crap" tire. Figure out what you want/need, match it up with what you can afford, and go from there. Lots of good info on this forum as well as on tirerack.com and other retailer sites to give reviews.

Would I ever put a set of Sentury tires on my car? Not unless I was trying to be cheap and was trading the car in next week. If I was planning to keep it but didn't have the budget, I would be going for a set of Continentals or Generals. If I had the budget, it would be Michelins or Bridgestones...just my personal preference over the years.

on several occasions, where I had accidentally picked up a nail in the tire...
I had went to used tire shops and picked up awesome condition brand name summer tires.

So basically the title needs to be changed from "Best tires" to "budget tires, ~100 bucks per"

FWIW, I was more happy with the Generals than with the Continental DWS on my old TL. They look good too.

Where did you go for your used tire crab man?

I have a tire shop that I frequent for anything...
it's in Stafford, next to the HCC Stafford Campus.

I usually buy tires from internet and have them install. but if i accidentally pick up a nail or something happens to a tire, I head to Oscar's and MOST of the time, they have a used tire in my specs!

it's a "bling bling" wheel shop, so I'm assuming people trade in their Stock OEM wheels for something flashy. which is great for me, as most of the time...there's a full set of tires with lots of tread left.

since, nails are weird and only attract one wheel, i usually just grab one tire or have the gentleman repair the tire

if you can hook me up with the address would be nice. I had a shop but it all the way down by Hobby airport.
