I pronounce them with short vowels and even stress. Start with "tin doll", change the "nd" to "r", and you've got it.

I use the same vowel as you for the "i" (as in "tin"), but a long vowel for the "o" (as in "roll"). For what it's worth, I also come very close to flipping the "r" (not quite, but close).

I pronounce it that way too, ie. "tirrol". The German pronunciation is somewhere between "tirrol" and "tee-role".

[nq:1]I match Harvey, although my second syllable isn't quite as long as the one I'd use in "roll".[/nq]
It was a poor analogy on my part: I think we probably pronounce it the same way.
