GREENVILLE, S.C., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The MICHELIN^® CrossClimate^®2 tire is now available in sizes that cover more than two-thirds of North America’s most popular cars and crossovers.

The CrossClimate2 launched in 2020 and brought a combination of performance and safety attributes that have never been seen in a passenger or crossover tire in North America. The tire was initially available in 25 sizes. With the phase two launch, the tire is now available in 55 sizes, making Michelin’s biggest passenger tire innovation in 20 years available to a large segment of North American drivers.

The CrossClimate2 has been lauded for being the first passenger tire in the all-season category to deliver multiple performance attributes without compromise. Competitors in the all-season tire category typically deliver one or two performance areas well but must make sacrifices in other areas that are important to drivers. The CrossClimate2 delivers them all – wet stopping, longevity, dry grip and snow performance.

The CrossClimate2 has a distinct V-formation tread pattern. This tread pattern works together with the tire’s revolutionary rubber compound to redefine the «all-season» category and bring drivers a tire that excels in more climate conditions than any competing product.

Wet performance – When Michelin engineers began developing the CrossClimate2, they knew they needed a tire that «grips to the last stop.» All tires begin wearing during their first drive. But not all tires offer outstanding stopping power as they wear. The CrossClimate2 does. In wet conditions, even when worn, the CrossClimate2 stopped shorter than leading competitive tires – up to 50 feet shorter when stopping from 50 mph.^¹

Longer lasting – Road testing shows the CrossClimate2 wears better than leading competitors. Not by a little bit, by a lot — up to 15,000 extra miles. That’s up to an additional year of use.^² The CrossClimate2 includes a 60,000-mile warranty.

Dry grip – Stopping power matters in wet or dry conditions. The CrossClimate2 stops up to 16 feet shorter (more than one full car length) on dry pavement than four leading competitive tires.^³

Snow performance – Drivers in snowy climates can have confidence in the «3-peak mountain snowflake rating» given to the CrossClimate2. This severe snow capability delivers up to 31% better snow traction when worn than four leading all-season worn competitive tires.^⁴

Noise – Michelin used PIANO Noise Reduction Tuning to design a tread with blocks and angles that cancel out «harmonic» road noise and create ideal amplitude for the contact patch, creating a quieter ride.

Acura Wins IMSA Rolex 24 at Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Almost exactly 30 years after Acura’s first class win at Daytona International Raceway, the manufacturer triumphed over all this weekend as Wayne Taylor Racing won this weekend’s 59^th running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

<img id="prnejpg787aleft" title="#10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 Acura DPi, DPi: Helio Castroneves, Alexander Rossi,…

#10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-05 Acura DPi, DPi: Helio Castroneves, Alexander Rossi, Filipe Albuquerque, Ricky Taylor winner

The season-opening round in the 2021 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, this weekend’s 24-hour endurance contest came down to the final hour, with five teams contending for the overall victory. Combining speed with endurance – with the Acura ARX-05 prototype requiring fewer pit stops than the competition over the length of the race – the WTR driver lineup of Ricky Taylor, Filipe Albuquerque, Alexander Rossi and Helio Castroneves held off late-race charges from the Cadillacs of Chip Ganassi Racing and Action Express, the Mazda-Multimatic prototype, and fellow Acura team Meyer Shank Racing to score their third consecutive Daytona victory, and the first with Acura.

All five contenders were running within 30 seconds of each other as the race entered its final hour. A «short fill» and two tire only change at the final pit stop moved Albuquerque’s Acura to the head of the field, with the Ganassi prototype of Renger van der Zande less than two seconds back. However, a cut tire with just seven minutes remaining sent van der Zande to the pits, and Albuquerque went on to take the checkers, and Acura’s first overall victory in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

In the SiriusXM AutoNation Acura ARX-05, the Meyer Shank Racing lineup of Dane Cameron, Olivier Pla, Juan Pablo Montoya and A.J. Allmendinger also led multiple times throughtout the race, but was forced to deal with handling issues as winds increased in the final hours, taking the checkers in fourth.

Acura NSX GT3 Evo
Electronic issues and an early-race cut tire dented the Acura GTD debut of the Magnus with Archangel’s NSX GT3 Evo, driven by Andy Lally, John Potter, Spencer Pumpelly and two-time defending GTD champion Mario Farnbacher. The cut tire, likely the result of debris on track, damaged the underbody and led to an unscheduled pit stop for #44 Acura in the opening hour, and a series of delays through the night left the NSX GT3 Evo team 11^th at the finish.

Acura Rolex 24 Fast Facts

Today’s overall win at the Rolex 24 comes almost exactly 30 years after Acura scored its first major endurance racing victory, the Camel Lights class win at Daytona, February 2-3, 1991.
Acura first entered IMSA competition in 1991, shortly after the company’s founding in 1986, and the 1991 Daytona race was the first major event for the company. Comptech Racing and drivers Parker Johnstone, Steve Cameron [uncle of current Acura racer Dane Cameron] and Bob Lesnett, driving a Spice Acura SE90P, claimed the victory that year in a class that compares to today’s LMP2 division.
Acura repeated as Camel Lights win at Daytona in 1992, with Comptech drivers Johnstone, and Cameron joined by Jimmy Vasser [who also won Honda’s first Indy car championship in 1996].
Today’s victory is the third consecutive Rolex 24 triumph for Wayne Taylor Racing but the first since WTR became an Acura team at the end of 2020.

Quotes
Filipe Albuquerque (#10 Konica Minolta Wayne Taylor Racing Acura ARX-05) Rolex 24 at Daytona winner: «I think it was a hell of a show. I could almost see [Renger van der Zande’s] eyes in my mirrors, he was so hungry for this. He was faster than me, but it’s one thing to catch and another thing is to pass. He was really pushing hard. I was lucky that they had a puncture. This was probably the hardest race of my life.»

Dane Cameron (#60 Meyer Shank Racing ARX-05) finished 4^th: «All in all it was an okay day. Our goal was to put ourselves in contention [for the win] at the end of the day and we did that by finishing on the lead lap. The Meyer Shank Racing boys did a great job preparing the car and executing pit stops without issues. It is probably the first time in six or seven years that I have run this race without a problem on a pit stop. I am very pleased with the effort the guys put in, with a short off-season and a large transition to a new program. We lacked a bit of speed near the end of the race today, but we were able to compete for a victory when it counted. We will take good [championship] points from today for our championship effort and we’ll move forward and turn the page to Sebring.»

David Salters (President, Honda Performance Development) on this weekend’s Acura victory at the season-opening Rolex 24: «It’s an historic day for Acura, and thanks to IMSA for putting on a stunning event. I want to thank all of our teams for their huge effort to come and race here in arguably one of the most arduous endurance events on the planet. They came, and demonstrated just how good they were. This is all the result of a team effort. Everyone at HPD was integral in developing the strong relationship we have with our teams, and I believe it showed in today’s results. I also need to thank all the marvelous people at Team Penske for their efforts and success the previous three years. They established the foundations that we’re now building upon. Again, it’s all about a team of brilliant, hard-working people, and it shows the performance heritage of Acura.»

Clean Cars 2030 Gains Legislative Momentum, Reflects Urgent Need to Confront Climate Crisis While Addressing Pollution and Health Inequities

SEATTLE, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Clean Cars 2030, a bill reintroduced in the Washington legislature with 27 co-sponsors and strong support from constituents, will have a hearing today at 3:30 pm PT in the House Transportation Committee. The bill, HB 1204/SB 5256, requires all model year 2030 or later passenger and light-duty vehicles sold in Washington State to be electric. People can keep and sell model-year 2029 and older gas cars as long as they like. The bill was drafted by lead sponsor Rep. Nicole Macri (D-Seattle) with assistance from Coltura, a Seattle-based nonprofit working to improve climate, health, and equity by accelerating the transition from gasoline and diesel to cleaner alternatives.

Gasoline and diesel on-road emissions are the single biggest source of human-caused carbon dioxide emissions in Washington, at nearly 30 percent of total emissions. With Clean Cars 2030, Washington would join more than 20 countries that plan to phase out sales of new gas cars. Since the bill was introduced last year as the first-of-its-kind in the U.S. to set a deadline for the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey have announced 2035 targets for ending sales of new gas-powered cars.

«Clean Cars 2030 will ensure that our policy goals and actions move us rapidly toward a 100 percent clean energy environment and keep pace with what is now a global trend toward vehicle electrification,» said Rep. Macri. «This bill is not only good for the environment, but it will also bring important equity to low-income households by significantly lowering fuel costs and car repairs while stimulating the economy by hastening a boom charging infrastructure construction and EV manufacturing. Clean Cars 2030 is a commonsense solution that will usher in a cleaner, healthier future for all Washingtonians.»

Why Wait?

EVs with more than 400 miles of range are already available, and dozens of new models of electric cars, trucks, and SUVs are coming to market. By 2025 or sooner, EVs are forecast to reach price parity with similar gasoline models. New technology allowing EVs to charge nearly as fast as it takes to fill a tank with gas will also be widely available and convenient by 2030. Research commissioned by Coltura and conducted by Yale University, George Mason University, and Climate Nexus found 59 percent of Washington voters support a 2030 electric vehicle requirement.

«There is no reason to wait beyond 2030 to commit to a clean transportation future,» said Matthew Metz, co-executive director of Coltura. «The transition period is achievable, and it will give automakers and utilities certainty about the EV market, which will further accelerate innovation and progress. We must put the pedal to the metal. It’s time we move beyond gasoline and eliminate our biggest source of carbon emissions in Washington State.»

Clean Cars 2030 will:

Put Washington on the road to powering its vehicles with cheap, clean, renewable electricity produced in-state.
Create clarity for local governments, automakers, charging companies, utilities, investors, landlords, and workplaces around the future growth of the state’s EV market.
Incentivize private-sector investment in new EVs and charging stations without imposing significant burdens on the state budget or the taxpayers.
Increase opportunities for lower-income Washingtonians to acquire used EVs and enjoy significant savings over costs of owning a fossil fuel vehicle.
Result in reductions in carbon emissions and air pollution.
Reduce the threat that oil and gasoline pose to our air, water, and health. According to the Washington Department of Ecology, motor vehicles release an estimated three million gallons of petroleum annually into the Puget Sound Basin, the rough equivalent of an Exxon Valdez supertanker spill every four years.

SureSale’s proprietary platform and network of qualified vehicle inspectors enables AAA Inspected to assess vehicle quality by analyzing thousands of vehicle data points, combing through vehicle history, and evaluating vehicle condition with an independent 170-point inspection. The program is currently available in ACA’s territories in Kansas and Oklahoma.

«For over 115 years, consumers have trusted AAA to keep them safely on the road, covering members with insurance, roadside assistance, and more. With AAA Inspected, we’ve added quality pre-owned cars to the list,» said Keith McIntyre, Director of Auto Buying and Sales at ACA, the third largest club in the national AAA federation.

AAA Inspected provides the information consumers need to feel sure about the used vehicle they are purchasing. This includes an independent inspection by a certified mechanic, and a Factfile™ vehicle report, a comprehensive accounting of the vehicle’s past history, current condition and future quality assurance. The Factfile™ report is free, and car shoppers and buyers can access it online or at the dealership.

«Unlike other industry reports, such as Carfax, which are limited to a vehicle’s past history, SureSale tells the vehicle’s whole story – past, present and future. Thanks to our partnership with SureSale, our members will be able to quickly and easily know that they can trust the quality of a used vehicle,» continued McIntyre.

AAA research shows that its members place a higher value on vehicles that are independently inspected (2), which is why ACA and SureSale analyze multiple data points to ensure that the vehicle is in excellent condition. Only when SureSale has determined that a vehicle meets its quality standard does it become a AAA Inspected vehicle.

«We are proud to partner with ACA to bring a universal standard of quality to AAA Inspected vehicles. AAA is one of the most trusted consumer brands in the country and, with AAA Inspected, consumers can, at last, get an answer to the question: ‘Am I buying a reliable, quality used vehicle?'» said Jeffrey Schwartz, SureSale Founder and President.

Bookies Expect Record-Breaking Super Bowl LV Action

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – On February 7, the most wagered upon event of the year happens when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs hit the gridiron for Super Bowl LV. Annually, the NFL Championship game attracts the most betting action of any single event of the year. As per PayPerHead, the world’s leading bookie software provider, the 2021 Super Bowl should break betting records. Every year, more and more people wager on the Lombardi…

Kansas City’s return to this year’s game is one reason bookmaking software companies are bullish on betting action exceeding 2020’s handle. The Chiefs and superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes are back. So is quarterback Tom Brady, which makes it so interesting to bettors. Brady became the fourth quarterback in history to take two different teams to the Super Bowl after the Buccaneers beat the Green Bay Packers and won the NFC.

On February 7, Brady plays in his tenth Super Bowl. The idea of the best quarterback in the NFL, Mahomes, taking on the best player in NFL history, Brady, in a game for the title has heads spinning.

«Even if you don’t have the internet or television, you know about this game. Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady are two of the most popular individuals, not just athletes, but people on the planet,» said Nate Johnson, product manager for PayPerHead.

The industry leader provides software that enables individual bookies to run branded sportsbooks online. With PayPerHead.com software, an individual bookmaker’s sportsbook can offer the same options that larger sportsbooks offer. Johnson said the organization added two digital platforms that should help their per head agents break individual Super Bowl betting action records. The first is Live+, an in-game wagering platform that offers game trackers and video streams.

«With Live+,» Johnson said, «players have no reason to leave our agents’ sites. They can check Super Bowl LV stats, check out video streams, and make bets while the action happens.» The other platform that has PayPerHead agents excited is what Johnson calls Premium Props. «In the past, players couldn’t bet on sports performances through the same agent platform. Now they can.»

So far, adopting agents have seen at least a 15% rise in action from Premium Props. Johnson expects Super Bowl LV to blow past that number. «The NFL has never had a Super Bowl like this before. The best current player in the league goes up against the best player of all time and all eyes will be watching and millions of dollars will be wagered. In the National Football League, quarterback is the most important position. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs versus Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? It’s a historical, dream matchup. With Live+ and Premium Props, our agents are in the best position to capitalize.»
