Nitto is American brand.....I used to buy Turbo/Sportcompactcar/Import tuner magazines since 15 years ago.....just the neogen was manufactured by Toyo factory Japan. And the INVO has been in the market over a decade ago. Last I went to S'pore in 2011, one tyre shop in Paya Ubi sells varieties of nittos. I think after12 or samurai in Sunway also selling them, but very limited.
