The 32" tire started with a simple concept. Can it make top level XC racers faster in a real race situation? Our short tests have been pretty inconclusive. From what we've heard, it feels a tiny bit slower, yet it is incrementally quicker. That's great for an elite racer, but less so for my relatively slow rides.

On average, fuel prices are up almost a dollar per gallon, or 25 percent, according to AAA. For a nation as addicted to the automotive as we are, that's bad news. Except, of course, for electric vehicles.

"Instead of starting with a product that we didn't feel like existed in the marketplace, we started with a mission that we felt like didn't exist, particularly in the beauty space," Cohen said. "We love that young people are turning to brands for not just products, but for the issues that they care about-and also that's what holds us accountable."

The GP5000 S TR is the all-rounder, balancing weight and protection for a fast but durable (and puncture protected) ride. Designed for general purpose road riding, the new size lets you push the boundaries of what "all road" really means. And the increased volume means you can run lower pressures for more traction and comfort while doing so.

We're using Formula 1 on Apple TV to show exactly how the extreme research and development tested in the world's harshest racing environments translates directly to the consumer. That's not a marketing line. It's absolutely real, drawing a line between Ford racing vehicles and the tech inside vehicles like the F-150 Raptor, Bronco Raptor and the new EV electric truck that's on its way.

GM, which had been the most ambitious among all U.S. automakers with plans to replace internal combustion engines, said in its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Thursday that the $6 billion in charges includes non-cash impairments and other non-cash charges of about $1.8 billion as well as supplier commercial settlements, contract cancellation fees, and other charges of approximately $4.2 billion.

By combining Regit's first-party vehicle data with Blis's unique mix of aggregated real-world movement, telco-derived insights, spending, and digital behaviour data, the collaboration gives automotive brands unmatched precision in reaching the right drivers at pivotal moments in their ownership journey. With drivers becoming harder to reach, smarter targeting is critical. Regit data shows two-thirds of UK motorists are considering an electric or hybrid car for their next purchase, while 76% say they will be less loyal in the low-emission era.

Shilpan Amin sits at the operational core of General Motors. As the global chief procurement and supply chain officer, his remit cuts across engineering, manufacturing, finance, and the company's vast supplier network. At GM's scale, procurement is not simply about buying parts. It determines how capital is deployed, how risk is priced and absorbed, how quickly vehicles move from design to launch, and how the company navigates geopolitical shocks while protecting long-term margins.

ReTyre's unique 'carbon-neutral' tire tech looks set to make big inroads in performance and real-world availability, thanks to a new development partnership with Vittoria and a fresh round of venture capital investment. Together, the funding and Vittoria collaboration will help ReTyre expand production of their pioneering sustainable tires. And it signals a shift from making tires for less-demanding applications like kids' bikes and strollers, stepping up to make durable, high-performance eco tires for everyday urban and commuting bikes and ebikes.

Wild Enduro Performance Line Michelin's Wild Enduro Performance Line features a double-ply 33 TPI casing, providing a more consistent rebound and ride feel. They use both compounds-Magi-X and Gum-X-together for rolling efficiency and cornering grip. The tires offer high puncture protection with a bead-to-bead shield helping to protect against sidewall punctures. Pinch flats are guarded against with Michelin's Pinch Protection technology, allowing for higher levels of reliability in varying terrain.

General Motors is working to reduce the cost of its electric vehicles, beyond just using cheaper lithium-ion batteries, the automaker said Tuesday during its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 earnings call. The update comes just as the automaker booked over $7 billion in charges related to cutting down its EV ambitions last year, which includes things like contract cancellation fees and converting its Orion, Michigan, EV assembly plant for the production of full-size gas trucks and SUVs.
