Mario Kart 7

Haha, How ironic.

But it really was slippery to control. I felt like I lost control for some parts.

Yeah it's primarily in Time Trials where speed is the most important. Everywhere else, acceleration and handling tend to play a bigger factor, but there are those occasions where players will like to go all out with the speed.

Of course, you'll likely get a lot more from the Red Monster tires than the Slick tires, since the latter has bad handling AND bad off-road.
 
With bad handling, I tend to skid into walls more often while drifting.

You should get the better handling then.

Obviously. I changed before the second lap was over and started Leaf Cup again.

I use Mushroom or Slim now. Those seem to be good.
 
The Slim tires are basically the less extreme version of the Roller tires, so while your acceleration and handling will have a weaker boost, your speed and weight won't be hindered as much. Off-road remains the same though.
 
I found the Off-Road stat useful just in case my drift goes off-road. If that happens, and if my off-road stat is high enough, I can continue my drift.

The Wood tires would probably be a big pick then, since if you're using a Feather character, you can have high handling and keep the off-road stat at a manageable level with kart bodies like the Cloud 9. Speed and weight take a topple, however.
 
Funny how the wood tires are supposed to be part of one of the karts which has the lowest acceleration in the game it appears in (DK Jumbo).

Nah, I prefer Red Monster Tires.

Well the Red Monster actually does offer an off-road boost, unlike the Wood tires, which offer none.

Wood tires make a kart look... cheap.

Ironically, the DK Jumbo's tires are made of wood. But like Baby Luigi said, it's ironic for those tires to excel in acceleration and handling when they were used on the kart that has the worst acceleration in Double Dash!!.
