Rubber Tires (called Ten Thousand Reward in the UK)[1] is a 1927 American silent film comedy[2] adventure[3] directed by Alan Hale, Sr. and produced by Cecil B. DeMille through his DeMille Pictures Corporation.

Pa Stack squandered the family's money by buying a home in Newhall, California, hoping that there would be oil on the land.

When breadwinner Mary Ellen Stack loses her job, the family decides to pay the taxes and live in their California home.

They sell their furniture and use the money to buy a Tourist brand car, complete with rubber tires.

When the salesman hears that the car has been sold, he tells the family of the full reward, and pursues the new owners.

When he approaches the family, the brakes fail, and, unable to stop the car, he drives past them.
