Immediate needs: Tires and Brake Pads

Not a fan of the stock tires. But not looking to drop 1k on them either. I have stock wheels, drive moderately aggressive, and drive back and forth from INDY to STL. NO track days or Auto X.

What do you guys recommend?

Brakes: Just noticed from the trip out here they appear to need to be done like yesterday. One shop said my rotors have to be swapped out as well (sight unseen) because of the OEM pads? They're not squeaky yet but are starting to get there. What pads do you guys use? Garage full of it on the rotors? Or am I swapping them out as well?

From digging around the maintenance section it looks like it's recommended that I swap out my diff/6spdM fluid. As far as I know it hasn't been done and I'm at 37k. Hopefully nothing got messed up? Little paranoid.

Man I'm spoiled from only every working on bikes. Seem to be MUCH simpler.

Car was being driven 80 miles a day all highway to work. So hopefully that helps.
I would look into Nitto Invo's. I run those love them for a DD tire. They cost about $1000 installed here in canada, may be cheaper for you. Only downside is they only come in 225/45r/ 17 and up, but to me thats a good thing haha.
