Hi everybody. I need new tires for my car. I was looking to get a good brand like Continental or Bridgestone but I'm only finding "fake" (beb awwal) for like 1200-1400 for the set. I think its too high especially if they aren't 100% original. Does anyone know someone reliable? Preferably in beirut. But will go anywhere if needed. Thanks!

All brands have entry level and good level tires, don't be fooled by the Lebanese ''all Michelin are good'' for example.
I recommend Toyo tires, excellent Japanese build and tracking on wet and dry + very competitive price for mids to top level models.
If you can find T1R they are very good and not expensive, the T1R like many other Japanese models are very thick so they are recommended for Lebanese roads knowing we have many holes.
Uniroyal are not recommended because they will be good for garbage after a shock like a hole.
If you can wait till June, many tire dealers do 30 to 50% discount due to lack of sales

What is the size of your rims ?

You can check TYREPRO for continental on the seaside behind CityMall Dora
As @vegetaleb mentioned Toyo are good as a budget tires
But for further recommendation I need you to tell me the size of your tires and the car model so I can help you with the best fit for your car

It's a 2010 E250 CGI Coupé. They are 18", I believe 235/45 is the size but I will check back and update this. I only changed my tires one time up till now and I got Toyo tires about 3 years ago. I immediately noticed that my car was driving a bit worse when I got those tires. The Continentals I had on before were much much better. That's why I want to go for a more high end brand this time.

Based on your car I can recommend you:
As high end tire
-Continental ContiSportContact 5 (which I'm running)
-Michellin PSS
-Michelin PS2
-Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
As Great Tire (better for $)
-Yokohama Advan Sport V105
-Birdgestone (I don't really like them)
-Vredestein Ultrac Vorti
-Hankook Ventus
-Nokian zLine
