I work in R&D for a well known tire company. I formulate tread compounds for regular car tires and for !->racing tires<-!. The latter part of my job is the most interesting. I get to go to tire tests all over the USA and to some races when new tread formulas are being used. Last August I was in the middle of the desert about 25 miles from Las Vegas testing several new off-road treads in 122F (50C) temperatures. Its not always a fun job, but most of the time it is a blast.
