If you take a look at the Batmoblie in The Dark Night you will see the front tires are Hoosier sprint tires.

Hell yeah!
I said the same thing every time I seen it. But after lookin at it a few times - I concluded that those tired where very similar in many ways - are just a lil too big lol.
But I do hope I'm wrong - as I still get kind of excited and tingly when I see it. O sh*t did I say that loud?

You can see that they use similar or the same tires on the motorcycle in the background of the picture.
I'm not really a movie person, but I remember seeing pictures of the Batmobile for the Batman movie before The Dark Knight (I don't know what it was called), and it used these tires, too (might be the same Batmobile, I don't have a clue on that).
Signature here.

I actually watched some type of behind the scenes show on television and they did say in the show that they are indeed Hoosier right rears! I'm just impressed that somebody in Hollywod knows how to mount them!

Batman Begins came out in 2005 and utilized the Hoosier right rears on the front of the Batmobile as well.
A lot of message boards discussed it at the time; no harm no foul if you weren't there.
YES, it is freaking awesome to see Hoosiers on the front of the Batmobile and on the bike/sled thing, too. Hoosiers for everyone i say.

When I drove the Batmobile in '67 and '68 it had Firestone Wide Ovals on it. 
Fenders ? We don't need no stinking fenders !!!

If you're who I think you are, I've been meaning to ask a question-
Was your relationship with Robin truly professional?
