Exploring This Job
Students can get a general overview of the tire industry by reading the annual publication from the Tire and Rim Association (TRA), the TRA Year Book, or the magazine Tire Review (https://www.tirereview.com). A high school science teacher or your school's career services office may also be able to arrange a presentation by an experienced tire technician. Students may gain indirect experience by working part time or in the summer at a plant where tires are manufactured and tested.
