In ''Donkey Kong Country'', there are two types of tires: round and half. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can move round tires, though halves of tires cannot be moved due to them being stuck in the ground. Halves of tires often appear on floating platforms.

Tires have bouncy properties that enable the [[Kong]]s to reach items or higher areas. | ||

[[Winky the Frog]] has a high bouncing ability that can be considered as roughly bounce about as high as when the Kongs bounce from a tire. | |||

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', there are much larger tires (specifically R-1 Lug tires) resembling those from a farm tractor. They only appear in the level [[Jungle Jinx (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Jungle Jinx]] and retain the functionality of tires from their previous appearance. Due to their size, the tires can be hazardous, if one lands on the Kongs, crushes them into a wall, or pushes them into an obstacle such as spikes or pitfall | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', there are much larger tires (specifically R-1 Lug tires) resembling those from a farm tractor.

Round tires reappear throughout ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', where they appear floating in midair. They often act as obstacles because they bounce Donkey Kong back if he hits into one.
