Quite right, Nitto are Toyo's US brand, and they are a premium tyre oops sorry TIRE and mostly made in the US (so I'm lead to believe) and they market them very differently to Toyo, and aim at the youth market specifically.
TOYO won't bring them into Australia as they believe they will compete directly with TOYO & they fear a loss in sales, as our market is so small comparably to the US.
Good stuff though
