    Happy Thanksgiving Tundra Family!
    Trying to decide if I should get new tires or 19 TRD Pro headlights. Running stock Michelin tires and they seem to be doing the job. My headlights on the other hand suck! I would like to get both but with Christmas coming I should only buy one. My wife says get headlights. What do you guys think?

    Really all depends on personal needs. Id say tires but if tread is good and holding up for daily needs, then go headlights.

    Tires seem to be doing fine, heading over Teton Pass for Thanksgiving dinner with friends and it's currently snowing. I was going to evaluate the tires performance today. I forgot to mention I installed BD squadron sport fog last Fall, they currently put out over 2200 lumens a piece. Fire those up seeing not much of a problem. But they are bright to oncoming cars, but haven't been flashed yet. Probably because they are stunned they are so bright. Like a deer in the headlights.

    Pulled the trigger on new tires through Discount Tire. Purchased with there CC to get 10% off, plus the tires are another 10%. Saved 20% and going to sell my LTX AT for $250.00. Killer deal on tires next few days. Going to wait on Headlights for little later in the season. BD Squadron's will get me through when I need more light. I highly recommend them those on the fence.

    If they work don’t replace them. That’s what I try to do. I either upgrade when something gets damaged or add something that wasn’t there in the first place. That’s how I justify most of my mods

    It depends on which is the worst!!! If they are for cosmetic, of course it would be headlights first. However, from a safety perspective, I would get tires because they wear out much faster than headlights do. I have gone the other way of getting headlights first on most of my new vehicles because the tires were literally brand new. Plus, whenever I upgrade my tires, I usually upgrade my wheels as well.

    I would go tires. New set of all terrains or so can really transform the look of the truck.
