Heard they're really good performance tires, Mashimoto ZX tires heard they're better than the Pirelli Pzeros ?

Have you tried tirerack?
Or going directly to the manufacturer, might be a good idea.
Call the tire places in your area, see if they carry those Mashimoto tires.

Lots of things are better than Pirelli Pzeros and easier to find than Mashimotos. Including Michelin Super Sports, or Pilot Sport Cup if you want serious performance. Best IMO.

I haven't heard of them either. So maybe they either don't exist or we don't get em in the US or they are just super rare? Either way I was trying to give the OP a realistic and obtainable option.

Anybody know anything about these tires?

When I look them up I get fast and furious references and google images of riced Hondas and such.

I found one mention of great for precision driving but that's where it ends. What's wrong with buying tires that exceed any need you will need and you can buy anywhere

Ah, OP saw them in FF and now must have them. Anything in FF > * :rolleyes:

Real life and movies are different to say the least. Hopefully the OP learns this sooner or later.

The current PZero, Pilot Super Sport, Sport Cup 2 and Conti Extreme Contact DW are about the best out there right now.

That would explain why I don't get this, the movies were bad and I never watched more that 30 minutes of the first movie
I sat through the first two. Once. At home on borrowed (not rented) DVDs. Would not pay for that garbage.

As I recall the opening scene in #2 is a slow wide arc pan at night with a Pep Boys sign behind them all. A F'ing commercial two minutes into a movie? Do I remember this right? It is about all I do remember from 2 ...

I watched because I was young enough when the first two came out I wasn't really old enough to know much better. But i knew the stickers were dumb. Just drooled over any sight of a GTR or a Supra.

As soon as I googled these tires and saw F&F i remember a reference to them

They are horrible and have managed to lower the level of discussion in car fora irreversibly it seems.

Also, the Supra is vastly over-rated, and I'd never want to own any car intended for an Asian domestic market while driving in the US or the EU.

I couldn't help but oblige the OP though.
