Rubber as in the movie about a killer tire? We actually watched that for the club a while back.

That's the one. Funny enough, I can see in that thread that I actually posted in it...but only to take @BeardotheWeirdo to task for failing to hail Volcano as the GOAT disaster movie. I guess my love of Volcano and Tommy Lee Jones kept me from realizing that a thread devoted to Rubber would probably have been a good place to mention that when I was working for the film criticism website Film Monthly I wrote a review of it
It's not quite on the same level as the Scream films - then again, very few meta films, and no meta horror films, are - but it plays with genre conventions far more intelligently and effectively than similar stuff that was coming out around that time like Kick-Ass and Zombieland IMO. Not a masterpiece but definitely an inspired and entertaining film.
