The invention provides in a first aspect a segmented mold comprising a plurality of segments arranged to form an annular cavity to mold a tire, the segments further include an inner face for molding the tread, said segments having one or more channels, one or more members received in said one or more channels, said members being joined together to form a fluid manifold for circulating a fluid medium therein. Preferably, the channels are located on the outer radial surface of the segments. The segments may optionally include two or more channels on the outer surface, wherein each channel has a tubular member received therein, wherein the first segment has a first and second tubular member, and the second segment has a first and second tubular member, wherein the first tubular member of the first segment is joined to the second tubular member of the second segment with a first crossmember, and the second tubular member of the first segment is joined to the first tubular member of the second segment with a second cross member, wherein all of said members being joined together to form a fluid manifold for circulating a fluid medium.
