I'm a dealer for them. The correct pronunciation is FIX SEE

Whenever I see people type Fiske or say Fisky, I consider them wheel morons.

As for Nitto tires, it is a Japanese company, the correct pronunciation is NEE TOE

Does the fact that you are American living in America have any bearing on your response?
