When I was looking for new tires for the M Coupe, I used TireRack to do research and found them extremely helpful with their rating systems and user reviews.
They saved me tons of cash on a tire that was rated 4.4 against the 4.5 of the Michelin Pilot Sport IIs.
Granted you don't need an Ultra High Performance summer tire, but TireRack would be a good place to start investigating and pricing for your Sequoia.
Finally, whatever brand/style you choose, make sure the tires aren't older than 6 years. They tend to fail at an alarming rate after 6 years and all tires have a date of manufacture code.
