Im not sure how long has it been but my old filter is very dirty and the replacements just arrive and i was surprised to see the new and improved packaging because last time i bought the replacement the packaging was torn and now the filter looks big at 1st and i tought wrong size? Impossible!! after massaging the filter into place it fits perfectly 165mm whereas if HKS 200mm filter was used there will be gaps as some parts will be folded because its bigger creating some gaps where dust can come into the intake unfiltered.
After the replacement the response was restored which really caught me by surprise.

The Eagle F1 GS-D3 is Goodyear’s maximum performance radial developed for driving enthusiasts who want more performance from factory stock or aftermarket-tuned sports cars and performance sedans. The Eagle F1 GS-D3 excels in wet conditions by delivering class-leading hydroplaning resistance and traction, as well as offers competitive dry performance.
Surprisingly the Potenza re001 last l0nger than i expected, instead of 6mth, it lasted a year and if i didnt change my suspension and messed up my alignment and camber it could've lasted longer.
But decided to save the alignemnts for the new tyre and decided to go with the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 which has the most review, a good reputation and a lot of awards. The tyres a a bit noisier then the potenzas, the steering feels mild, feels like it lack grip until i hit a certain turn the tyres are screeching however the grip is still there and the car is still controlable.Purposely hit a puddle of water at speed and like they say no aquaplaning.
The feeling reminds me when i first us a full set of Yokohama S Drive the car turns in and there's a feeling of oversteer. So i need to get used to the the tyres behavour befor i can go all out with it.
