LOL, ive always wondered myself. I've herd people always say "tee-in", however I think they're wrong! I think its pronounced "ty-in" like Eins"tein", or bens"tein". Just without the "s". Makes sense to me. Also, if it was "tee-in" shouldnt it be spelled tien, instead of tein?

Rep Power: 0 I use to pronounce it as Tanes, but my friends were like what the hell was I talking about. There argument was that the bald guy in Dragon Ball Z with the third eye is named Tein, and the anime pronounces it as Tee-in. How can you argue Japanese translation.

FYI for anyone who really wants to know. I e-mailed TEIN to get a response on this. This was their response:

put in the "t". If you have anymore questions please feel free to contact
us. Thank you for your interest in Tein High Performance Suspension.

Rep Power: 368 Good job ffokuf. I always pronounced it TANE. My brother speaks Japanese and he makes a tiny bit of a distinction between the "e" and "i", thus it sounds like TE-iN.
