I also did some research on Internet. Some people said that they would choose PS4 if they consider the cold winter.

However, for me in California I would rather choose RE-003 instead which has more grip than PS4 and also cheaper than PS4...

And, the most importantly, RE-003 is also a summer performance tire like PSS but doesn't lose grip like PSS in California's winter!!! 拇指向上

Of course, during summer time PSS has more grip than RE-003... However, I don't drive my GSF 10/10 (only 8/10) on public roads. So, those little additional grips are USELESS for me...

If I really need those additional grips to add more safety on the roads, I just increase tire width a little bit...

Actually GSF's OEM tires are a bit small compared with German performance cars. Why? That's because Lexus wants to keep GSF's ride as quiet as possible on highways... If I don't track my GSF or drive my GSF 10/10 on public roads. I think those smaller tires are really GOOD ENOUGH!!!

Recently I keep playing with my GSF on some very narrow mountain roads as below...

I just chose one section of the road which was only about 5-10 kms long and kept practicing on that section.

Of course, at the first round I would NOT drive very fast and make sure there was no car and people on that section. Then began to drive faster and faster for every round later on... rock

Even though I just drove about 0.8G it's already quite scary!!! (Even with those big Brembo brakes I don't think my GSF would stop in time if there was a stationary car or person or animal on the road)

Of course, I will NOT go beyond 0.8G... Actually 0.8G is already very fun.

I also don't want to risk my life or a stupid car accident to RUIN my current life...

Last month an old Cadillac XLR followed my GSF on a narrow mountain road...

Of course, I just kept my own pace and did around 0.6-0.8G at every corner. Then we encountered a very tricky corner as below DOWNHILL. However, I ran a little more aggressively like 0.9G at that corner.

Guess what... I suddenly heard some loud tire squeal sounds from the old Cadillac behind me!!! I also checked my rear view mirror and found that Cadillac struggled a bit but luckily it regained the control back quickly...

Actually that Cadillac is no joke. It shares the same chassis as American supercar Corvette. Just like G35 vs 350z or G37 vs 370z...

As everything's price is getting much higher recently, I purchased five oil filters for my GSF from Amazon. Each costs less than $5USD.

I also checked the recent reviews from Amazon. Those filters should be Toyota OEM, not Chinese fake parts!!!

I usually buy TEN oil filters at a time for my Nissans as they both use the same filters and Nissans' change intervals are also shorter which are 5500kms. My GSF's change interval is 8000kms.

Actually the prices of the oil filers for both Nissans and GSF are about the same. However, GSF's is OEM but Nissans' are NOT...

If I remember right, 15 years ago Nissan OEM oil filter for my previous 2000 Maxima costed about NTD200 in Taiwan. Of course, the price should be higher than that now...

I just found this fun video...

I think this corner is very similar to the corner I mentioned for my GSF and that old Cadillac. That corner is so tricky that I may run about 0.9G accidently...

Of course, I can not run cross two lanes like what rally racing does. I only can drive one single narrow lane because it's a PUBLIC ROAD!!!
