Template:Articleabout Template:Kart-infobox The Slim tires are a set of unlockable tires in Mario Kart 7, while being available by default in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Overview

Mario Kart 7

The Slim tire, as it appears in Mario Kart 7.

The Slim tires are, in a way, a less extreme version of the Roller tires. The Slim, Wood, and Roller tires are also the only tires to offer a positive sea handling boost, but the Slim tires do not affect the sea speed stat.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

The Slim tires return in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, where they look slightly different from their appearance in Mario Kart 7 and are available right from the start. Their stat distribution is also different from Mario Kart 7 in that they boost speed and handling at the expense of some acceleration and traction. There is a variant of the Slim tires called the Crimson Slim tires that also appear in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. They share stats with the Crimson Slim and the Triforce Tires that come with the The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 DLC pack.

CPU players tend to only use these tires whenever they are using the Standard Bike. However, a CPU-controlled Luigi will also use these tires alongside the Mach 8 kart body. Likewise, a CPU-controlled Mario will use these tires whenever he is using the Comet bike body.
