Published: October 19, 2010

RMA is launching an all-new website tomorrow, and offering a sneak peak via a YouTube video.

The short video features RMA mascot Phillip the Tire, and walks users through the site features.

“Our revamped site will continue to provide useful information about RMA, the tire industry and tire care and maintenance but in a more user-friendly format,” the RMA said. “In the Tire Safety section, we are creating educational and fun videos that will help consumers learn simple ways to keep their tires properly maintained. We are also revising our tire education curriculum to encourage young drivers to learn the importance of proper tire care.”

Yoshi Mobility recently closed its $26 million Series C funding round. The round includes strategic investors General Motors Ventures and Bridgestone Americas, as well as international investors Universal Motors Agencies and Shikra Limited. Launched out of Y Combinator in 2016, the company is also backed by ExxonMobil, DN Automotive, NBA All-Star Kevin Durant, and NFL legend Joe Montana. Yoshi Mobility has raised more than $60 million to date. In addition to scaling its core business, the company said Series C funding enables it to expand three new business lines: preventative maintenance, virtual vehicle inspections and electric vehicle (EV) charging.
