Someone on here talked to a Tein rep and they said it was pronounced the same way, that it rhymes with 'pain.'

Now we just have to spread the word because everybody seems to have their own way of pronouncing it.

"Tee-in" is how I say it. That is how the guys at the Tein warehouse said it too.

It's settled. It's pronounced Tayne, like:

-Lil Wayne
-House of Pain
-Mary Jane
