The classic action movie Anti-Vehicle tactic of shooting tires, or deflating them in any number of other ways, to hinder the maneuverability of a vehicle. The outcome of the tire damage depends to some extent on the special effects budget: the car might crawl to a stop, or become impossible to steer, or spectacularly crash.
Expect this to show up regularly during Car Chase Shoot Outs.
The tactic is Truth in Television: police have "spike strips" available for when a high-speed chase isn't the best option. This is a subtrope of Vehicular Sabotage. Spiked Wheels commonly have this effect. Compare to Anti-Cavalry, which takes out a different form of ground transport. Caltrops are a good way to achieve this effect.note ... Though as demonstrated by The Mythbusters, they work much better when hollow, allowing the air from the tire to escape through them rather than plugging the hole.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day: During the scene where the T-1000 (driving a truck) is trying to run over John Connor (on his motorcycle), the T-800 shoots out the left front tire of the truck. The T-1000 loses control and rams the truck into an overpass, causing the truck to explode.

Tested twice on MythBusters.
When they tested the scene from Burn Notice, they found that there's too much stuff on the underside of a car to count on a bullet finding its way through ... and that shooting the tires gave them a flat within half a mile.
When they looked at various spy-movie gadgets, tires that drove over caltrops deflated very slowly. (Granted, they were using solid caltrops; if the police deploy these instead of a spike strip they use hollow ones to let the air out. A later revisit with hollow caltrops didn't cause an immediate wipeout, but Adam's car came to a quick stop.) Jamie's tire-slashing rig worked better, but Adam was still able to maintain control of the target car.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. In the final chase scene, Wez shoots his wrist-mounted crossbow at the tires of the Mack truck that's hauling the precious fuel. Since it's such a huge and powerful vehicle, and has multiple wheels, it doesn't accomplish much—the truck keeps on going despite the flattened tires. A pursuing Marauder then tries to pop one on the tires with a wrist-mounted blade. He gets sucked into the wheels for his trouble.

In the American remake of Taxi, the cop shoots out the tires of the thieves' car and it doesn't affect the car at all. Queen Latifah's character, however, realizes not only how this is possible (the wheels use a special gel to temporarily plug the hole and give the wheels some mileage before this trope is played straight) but manages to track the thieves to the only part in New York where you could get these tires.

In the Grand Theft Auto series since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Crazy-Prepared players might just preemptively take out the tires of stationary vehicles near the mission to prevent their opponents to escape by driving them. Another common tactic is getting a 3-star wanted level, wherein the cops will start laying spike strips on the street, then the rest is obvious: as long as you can get your opponent to run over them, and avoid them yourself, you'll be fine. Another benefit to popping the tires is that tires are always vulnerable to gunfire, while cars during missions can at times be unrealistically tough to keep the player from an easy win.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Richard Burns on the news is riding with cops trying to stop illegal street racing, and Richard then tries to shoot out a car's tires. In the same game, it's impossible to pop a bicycle's tires.
In Grand Theft Auto V, you can avert this by purchasing bulletproof tyres for your favourite cars.

In Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly, there's a car vandal that's been going around the city deflating the tires of some of your customers, including Jorji and Riona. Jorji heads the investigation to find the culprit, and Riona reports that her car's tires got deflated near a metered parking spot in front of an abandoned library, on a seemingly deserted street near a busy area that had a dead hawthorn tree surrounded by remembrance trinkets. It's revealed that the fairy-folk were behind the crime, as they vandalized the cars over a broken promise to keep the tree because that was the "body" of their friend, the fairy vendor who was killed by a drunk driver in 1959.

Ko's first onscreen hit in A Taste of Killing and Romance. His target is in a speeding car, and Ko is on a motorcycle, where he quickly overtakes his target, stops a mile ahead, and fires a single shot into the tire on the driver's side just as the vehicle approaches a bend. The car quickly flips over, killing the driver and the target's bodyguard, and as the target crawls out of the wreckage Ko puts a second bullet into his forehead.

James Bond
Goldfinger. While driving alongside Tilly Masterson's car, Bond uses one of the Q gadgets in his car to rip open and flatten the tires of Tilly's car, forcing her to stop. Bond feigns amazement at the "double blow-out" she just experienced.
While driving another Q Car across a frozen lake in The Living Daylights, an exploding rifle grenade bursts his tire. Bond uses the rim as an improvised cutter to cut a large hole in the ice, sinking the vehicle chasing him, then presses a button to deploy some skis and Spiked Wheels.
Played straight and subverted in Tomorrow Never Dies. Bond drives over his own Caltrops (to be fair, he didn't have much choice) after flattening the tires of his pursuers, and then promptly activates a mechanism that seals up the holes and reinflates the tires in seconds flat!
In Licence to Kill Bond is driving a stolen fuel tanker, but is sent off the road when the mooks shoot out the rear tires, causing him to lose control of the vehicle.
Casino Royale (2006) features a fuel-tanker being used as a car-bomb in a terrorist plot; while Bond and the bomber fight for control, the cops shoot the tires to (unsuccessfully) stop the truck.

In Saints Row: The Third you have to shoot out the wheels on a semi-trailer truck to stop it during one mission... with a tank. You're supposed to use the co-axial machine gun, but where's the fun in that?. Also, it's possible to shoot out the wheels of any car in the game, which greatly lowers its handling but still leaves it able to be driven.

Mad Max: Fury Road. The dual wheels and spiked hubcaps of the War Rig mean this tactic is ineffective. However it's a plot point when Furiosa manages to do this to the front left wheel of Nux's car's, hoping it would slow him down or make him crash. Nux responds by telling Slit to move Max (who's chained to the front of the vehicle) to the back as a counterweight, so he only has to rely on the right wheel for turning and balance. This gives Max an opportunity to escape.

The X-Files:
In the episode "Bad Blood", Mulder originally says that he does this to an RV which was stuck going around in circles. However, after Scully notices how dirty his coat is (and how late he was), Mulder sheepishly admits that shooting out the tires was more difficult than he thought it would be. After he ran out of bullets in the attempt, and after trying to grab onto the RV (subsequently getting dragged around, explaining the dirt) he finally just had to wait for it to run out of gas.
"Darkness Falls": Ecoterrorists set up tire spikes on a road in the woods. Mulder, Scully and two guys from Federal Forest Service are screwed up because they have only one spare tire and must hike to the place they were heading. At the end of the episode they're trying to drive out before nightfall with a captured ecoterrorist to escape the Monster of the Week, only to be stopped by another caltrop. "Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!"

Averted in a scene in The Accountant (2016), where the title character uses a .50 Barrett anti-material rifle to disable the bad guys' car, not by popping a tire, but by shooting the engine (anti-material rifles, like the Barrett, are designed for destroying enemy equipment, like vehicles). As the bad guys try to escape with their hostages, he shoots out their car's engine, then when a mook tries to flee in the pickup owned by his hostages, he disables that one as well.

During a particular live performance of Henry IV, one member of the audience collapsed, confusion followed as they were aided by on-scene medics, and, as some rose to leave, the actor playing Falstaff started demanding the rest of the audience stay while remaining in-character, issuing bombastic threats that included finding "this sword and many a dagger placed neatly in the tyres of your carriage".

Turns out it's a ruse by a Mad Scientist who wants to test his new assault rifle against the world's top assassin — he suffers a Karmic Death when (after inevitably defeating the two mercenaries armed with the new rifle) Duke shoots out his tire as he flees, sending his van off a cliff.

During the filming of a car chase in "Everest Was Also Conquered", a tire blew out on the stunt car. The producers decided to Throw It In and filmed an additional scene of the Villain of the Week shooting out the tire to put an end to the pursuit.
In "Kickback", CI5 have to fake the assassination of a British government official. Bodie shoots out a tire on his limo so it has to stop. Then when the official is being transferred to his escort car, another sniper shoots him twice in the chest (he's wearing a Bulletproof Vest).

Heat:
In the armored car robbery, Neil and his crew have timed the police response to three minutes. They are driving away from the scene just as the first police cruisers hit a spike strip laid down in the middle of the street by Trejo and screech to a halt, with two of them fishtailing.
In the bank robbery shootout, Sgt. Drucker shoots the left rear tire of the getaway car. Donald Breedan struggles to control the car, until he is shot in the head by a police round and killed, and the car crashes into the back of an abandoned vehicle.

Kurt Dierker from The Saboteur cheats Sean Devlin out of winning the Saarbrücken race near the beginning by shooting a tire on the latter's racecar with a pistol he carried in his own. Sean and Jules respond to that later by tailing Kurt so Sean can drive his racecar out of a cliff... It does not end well for either of them, especially not Jules.

In Dino Attack RPG, during her Outside Ride scene, Silencia Venomosa was climbing all over Montoya's car to slash the tires with her knife, and neither Montoya nor Schiess caught on until it was too late. By the time they managed to shake her off, the tires were all slashed and subsequently popped, sending the car crashing into a ditch.

Star Trek: Voyager. In the Time Travel Episode "Future's End", Tom Paris uses his phaser on the tires of a semi-trailer carrying the Timeline Altering Macguffin. As per the Mad Max example this has little effect, with the driver turning the semi around and trying to ram him. Fortunately a shuttle arrives just in time to blow it up with its phasers.

Michael from Burn Notice does this on a multitude of occasions, albeit usually on cars that are not currently in use, in order to stop someone from being able to chase him in that car after he pulls whatever mayhem he's up to.
One time, Michael built a homemade spike strip to stop a car so he could talk to the driver.
Defied on one occasion. He tried shooting out the tires of a pursuing vehicle and couldn't, so he began using another tactic: shooting down at the road, causing the bullets to ricochet upwards through the unarmored bottom of the pursuing car. Understandably, this freaked the driver in the other car out.

The Equalizer 2. In the climatic battle, the villains have a friend of Robert McCall Bound and Gagged in the trunk as a hostage. A sniper proceeds to shoot rounds into the car, threatening to put a bullet into the trunk if McCall doesn't surrender. Instead McCall fires a shot to burst a tire causing the height of the car to drop, making the bullet miss.

Played straight and subverted in Tomorrow Never Dies. Bond drives over his own Caltrops (to be fair, he didn't have much choice) after flattening the tires of his pursuers, and then promptly activates a mechanism that seals up the holes and reinflates the tires in seconds flat!

In many Need for Speed games that have police, if your heat level gets high enough, cops will start deploying spike strips with their roadblocks or dropping them behind their cars. Even losing one tire to one will cause your vehicle to be very difficult to control, and is usually followed by every cop ramming you until you're busted.
