Starting with Mario Kart 8, the Wood tires have received a significant redesign. This time, This time though, they look more like wagon wheels, similar to the tires used for the Heart Coach and Bloom Coach from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and the Daytripper from Mario Kart Wii. Here, there are six thick, white lines that join from the center from the thin wooden tire, which has a large hole pierced through it. The center features a cylindrical piece that has a yellow rim that is tiny yet shiny.
