You're driving a Japanese vehicle. Toyota's deliver legendary levels of reliability and durability because they are made with parts supplied by Japan's best part's companies. In Japan, the three top Japanese bearing companies are NSK, Koyo and Nachi.
Gates & Goodyear timing kits come with a tensioner / idler bearings made by a second class bearing companies like GMB. These are fine as long as you are satisfied with Ford, Chevy and Chrysler levels of reliability and durability.
