Like in the original Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features different gold parts that can only be obtained by putting in quite a bit of work. Here’s how to precisely unlock the Gold Tires.

How to Unlock Golden Tires in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

To unlock the Gold Tires in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you will need to become a true Mario Kart expert and learn all the ins and outs of the game and its courses, as you need to beat the staff ghosts in all of the 150cc time trials.

This feat isn’t particularly difficult if you know the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe courses well, and thus know where it is possible to shave off a few seconds here and there, but it will take you a long time to complete if you have just started out or if this is the first entry in the series that you have played. Practice a lot, watch how other players beat the ghosts, and you will eventually unlock these elusive Gold Tires.
