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
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 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.
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
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 × 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.
In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Slim tires have slightly different stats, and while they still have the same stats as the Crimson Slim tires, they now share their stats with the Wood tires instead of the Triforce Tires.
Mario Kart Tour
Slim tires return in Mario Kart Tour, where they are used by the Bruiser, Yellow Taxi, Platinum Taxi, Happy Ride, Star-Spangled Flyer, Mach 8, Black Carriage, and Landship. 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 and Landship, they have their Mario Kart 8 appearance. The Mario Kart 7 tires also have six alternate versions; a rainbow version is used by the Party-Wing, a brown, red, and yellow version is used by the Tiger Bruiser, a white and gold version is used by the Grand Badwagon, a gold version is used by the White Bruiser, a pink version is used by the Ice-Cream Minibus, and a brown and yellow version is used by the Chocolate Banana Minibus; while the Mario Kart 8 tires have a yellow version used by the Green Double-Decker.
