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.

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: Diddy's Kong Quest)|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.
