I'd recommend Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They're really good and affordable tires that have excellent grip. They don't have much road noise and last decently long.
Replace them with OEM GX460 calipers, rotors, and brake pads. As an '09 GX470 owner, I did mine several months ago - best braking experience I ever had. Rockauto is a great place to buy stuff at best prices. I bought CV axles made by cardone from them - $90 each. They run great on my GX.
Just make sure it’s for a GX460 from 2010-2013 or 14 cause they slightly changed in later years and it won’t mount up to the 470. I just did mine about a month n half ago with the OEM calipers pads and rotors and they’ve been great so far
I got BFG Comp 5's (?) on my 350 RWD '07. They're great, my traction control is always off too and I don't think I've ever broken traction unintentionally.
Glad you have the Aisin timing belt kit in there, it’s literally OEM parts without “toyota” stamped on them. The gates stuff will be ok but may not last as long as OEM. I would probably do OEM for my GX but those parts are easy to replace, and Gates seems to make decent quality parts. I would recommend replacing the crank seal, definitely do OEM for that.
I ran the hankook ventus prime 3 for the last 3 years on my IS, next year i'm probably going with the nankang as-2+.
It now drives much better than stock suspensions with air springs Also, Its now returned to a "factory" Prado. ????????
Here in Chicago I have them on my Lexus and they’re absolutely great.
I had Akebono ceramics on my first GX, have OEM on my current ride. OEMs may offer a slightly better pedal feel but are much dustier (Akebono didn't dust at all). No real difference in stopping power, so overall it's probably a wash.
Gabriel/Quick Struts are junk. Rides like shit, noisy, every time. If you were putting them on an old clapped out civic or something I’d say go for it, but definitely not on your Lexus.
