Well I don't know about the rubber being explicitly a reference to rubbers as such... but it's a good song, I'd say it was more just talking about when it gets right down to it (whatever it is). Doesn't sound like Meatloaf & Steinman's style to debase it like that to be honest. It's more about the intensity of his world put in a way we can all identify with, characteristically slightly too close for normal comfort in music which is why he's just sooooooo good. :)

"Where the rubber meets the road" wasn't written by Jim Steinman, it was written by Sarah Durkee and Paul Jacobs. Only two songs on Welcome to the Neighbourhood were written by Steinman, "Original Sin" and "Left In the Dark".
