In ''Mario Kart 7'', the Slim tires resemble American white-wall tires with red and silver rims. In terms of their stats, they are, in a way, a less extreme version of the [[Roller]] tires. They provide a small boost to acceleration and a better one to handling (tied with the [[Wood]] and the [[Mushroom (tire)|Mushroom]] tires) while hindering speed, weight and off-road. 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, and unlike the Roller tires, the Slim tires provide a high boost to drift while having one of the lowest mini-turbo and off-road stats.

The Slim tires return in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', where they have an appearance different from their appearance in ''Mario Kart 7'', and are available 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 this game. They share stats with the Crimson Slim and the [[Triforce Tires]] that come with the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack.

CPUs tend to only use these tires whenever they are using the [[Standard Bike]]; this applies to all medium-sized characters, the lightweight [[Larry]] and [[Wendy]], and the heavyweight [[Link]]. 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. Additionally, a CPU [[Waluigi]] will occasionally pair the Standard Bike with Slim tires. Finally, a CPU [[Rosalina]] will use these tires with a [[Sport Bike]] body as one of her combinations.

Slim tires return in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where they are used by the [[Bruiser]], [[Yellow Taxi]], [[Platinum Taxi]], [[Happy Ride]], [[Star-Spangled Flyer]], [[Black Carriage]], [[Mach 8]], [[Landship]], and [[Mach 8-R]]. On the Bruiser, Yellow Taxi, Platinum Taxi, Happy Ride, Star-Spangled Flyer, and Black Carriage, they have their ''Mario Kart 7'' appearance, while on the Mach 8, Landship, and Mach 8-R, they have their ''Mario Kart 8'' appearance. The ''Mario Kart 7'' tires also have seven alternate versions; a rainbow version is used by the [[Party-Wing]] and [[Rainbow Taxi]], a brown, red, and yellow version is used by the [[Tiger Bruiser]], a white and gold version is used by the [[Grand Badwagon]], a black and gold version is used by the [[White Bruiser]], a pink version is used by the [[Ice-Cream Minibus]], a brown and yellow version is used by the [[Chocolate Banana Minibus]], and a gold version is used by the [[Gold Bruiser]]; while the ''Mario Kart 8'' tires have a yellow version used by the [[Green Double-Decker]].
