'''Tire''' (spelled '''Tyre''' in the {{wp|American and British English spelling differences|UK-based}} [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] games) are commonplace objects in a few titles of the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise, the first being ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Tires have bouncy properties that enable the [[Kong]]s to reach items or higher areas.
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. The level [[Bouncy Bonanza]] features the bouncing mechanic through, and as such, it features many bouncing many tires, both whole and half. Sometimes a tire is needed to enter inside a [[Bonus Barrel]]. [[Winky]] can bounce to about the same height as the Kongs can from a tire.

[[List of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|In early stages of development]], tires were considered to be used for a much larger variety of uses throughout the game.<ref>{{file link|DKC concept tire features.jpg|DKC tire feature concepts}}</ref>

[[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.


Tires reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' where their functionality remains unchanged. Both games feature a hazardous, spike-covered tire obstacle, [[Mincer]]s.

[[File:Tire DKC2.gif|frame|A large, rolling tire from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.]]
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 [[Klubba's Kiosk]] and [[The Flying Krock]], tires appear in the background among other random objects.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', a single tire appears beneath [[DK's Tree House]] and is used to bounce up to it. They later reappear in some temple levels with a golden hue, such as [[Platform Panic]] and [[Blast and Bounce]]. Normal tires also appear in [[Switcheroo]].

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. Tires otherwise retain their general purpose from ''Donkey Kong Country''.
