    Looking to invest some money into my 2013 tundra SR5. I want to get some new beefy tires for the weekend river, camping but I still drive fairly often on the highway. I drive on a 295/60R18 with 18in tires but I wanna move up to 20’s. also some new led headlights/taillights as well.
    any recommendations?

    I personally have the Falken Wildpeak AT3W and love them. About 20k on them so far and they are still looking new and nice and quiet on the highway

    I went with some budget milestar patagonia xt recently. Lot better and less noise then the previous cheapo tires that came with the truck when I got it used. No complaints for me so far with the Milestar.

    BFG KO2 All terrains are great all around tires with little to no road noise.
    AlphaRex headlights are a must, I personally have the gen 1 pro series but they did update it with a newer daytime running light in the gen 2s for more money. Be careful which you chose because some are almost double the price but come with included level adjusters/upgraded led bulbs. (IMO go with the cheaper halogen bulb and level adjuster if your truck has it and change bulbs with different brand later on. Almost same amount of money for even better bulbs from a reputable lighting company)
    https://www.alpharexusa.com/product...=pa_make:623;pa_model:625;pa_fitment-year:221
    Some good upgraded bulbs to put into them that I recommend would be GTR Lighting 2.0s they're extremely bright and have a nice blueish white tint. (make sure they match the correct size to whatever headlight you end up getting. The 1st gen alpha rex pro series is H7)
    https://www.headlightrevolution.com/H7-Ultra-2.0_2?quantity=1 (link says they are for fog lights but don't worry they fit)
    Morimoto XB Led fog lights will match the color tint of the upgraded bulbs perfectly and are also extremely bright.

    Spyder tail lights I can't remember the exact name but they are pretty basic and look great.
    https://www.carid.com/2013-toyota-tundra-taillights/spyder-fiber-optic-tail-lights-1254831049.html
    Morimoto makes good upgrade LED bulbs that replace the OEM halogens as well
    Reverse: https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto-921-t15-xb-led-bulbs?quantity=1
    Turn signal (need resistors to not have hyper flash. You can also pick between white, yellow/orange or both if you want a different color blinker):https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto-3157-xvf-led-bulbs?quantity=1
    Led License plate lights are a subtle but stunning upgrade too:https://www.morimotohid.com/Toyota-Tacoma-05-15-XB-LED-License-Plate-Lights_2?quantity=1

    I know it's a lot, but once you start with lighting you can't stop XD
    P.S. Here's some pictures of my rig for some more inspiration :)

    Just went from Cooper STT Pros in 275/70r18 to Toyo Open Country AT3's in 295/70r18. The Toyo's rule thus far. Super quiet in comparison to the old STTs, amd fit the truck a lot better than the 275s.

    I'd stay away from 20's for ride quality and more flexibility. Many roads nowadays are just rough and 20's will generally ride like crap with too little sidewall height. Big rims are just not fit for anything outside of a SEMA show truck.

    I second this, oversized wheels is absolutely hideous IMO and has no practical use other than to make you look like you have money. 17s or even 18s is the nice sweet spot where you get enough wheel to be flashy while also maintaining a nice thick sidewall for better ride quality.
