In the movie Rubber, an independent horror film directed by Quentin Dupieux, an abandoned tire named Robert suddenly awakens to become a killer. It's like Christine, but with an evil tire instead of a car.
Is Rubber the best of the possessed tire genre? Perhaps, but Mr. Dupieux erred in picking such a small tire to play Robert. The main tire used appears to be near a 205/60R15 size.
Dupieux should have chosen a bigger option, something like the 345/30R19 used on the 2003-2010 Dodge Viper. With a $500,000 budget, maybe he couldn't spring for the higher cost of this sizing.
If he ever makes a sequel he'll be able to easily afford the 345/30R19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup that's been marked down from $593 to $222* per tire. This super-sticky Streetable Track & Competition tire is the rear Original Equipment on the 2008-2009 Dodge Viper ACR. It's often used as a custom size by many C6 Corvette drivers, too.
