Glock-18 | Red Tire (Field-Tested)

The Glock-18 | Red Tire (Field-Tested, FT) is an Industrial Grade pistol skin with a black and red tire-tread pattern on the frame, here with a modest amount of honest wear. It's the most common and wallet-friendly way to run the design.

Design

The look is all about one graphic: a black and red tire-tread pattern spray-painted across the Glock, an automotive theme that leans on bold color over intricate art. It's a Valve creation, finished off with the in-game line "Burn rubber."

Glock-18 | Red Tire (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested lands in the middle of the finish's 0.00–0.55 float band. Expect light scratching and some fading on the edges and raised areas, but the dense tread pattern absorbs it well and the skin still reads boldly at a glance. This is the grade most players picture — a fair trade of a little wear for a lower price.

Glock-18 | Red Tire Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade — the light blue grade. It sits low among the standard weapon tiers, just one place above Consumer, and it's a common rarity that keeps the pistol easy to pick up.

Glock-18 | Red Tire Case and Collection

This finish comes from The 2021 Vertigo Collection, released with Operation Riptide in September 2021. It was never a weapon-case item — the way to get one is through the Vertigo Souvenir Packages handed out at Major tournaments, tying its supply to those events.

Glock-18 | Red Tire Patterns

Red Tire shows no random pattern variation: the tread graphic sits the same on each copy, meaning there's no paint seed or "blue gem" worth searching for. Copies differ only in their wear and float values.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You won't find a StatTrak edition of this skin — StatTrak variants are created solely within weapon cases, and Red Tire didn't drop from one. A Souvenir version does exist, sourced from the Major Vertigo Souvenir Packages and first seen in the Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package.

Glock-18 | Red Tire Price

Field-Tested is the value sweet spot of the range, cheaper than the higher grades while keeping the pattern clearly readable — a big reason it's the most-traded version of an already affordable mid-tier Glock. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Red Tire look worn?

Only mildly. There's visible scratching on the edges and some fading on raised spots, but the busy tread graphic and strong red keep the design looking bold from normal viewing distance. It's a small cosmetic trade for a noticeably lower price than the top grades.

Is Field-Tested the best value Red Tire?

For most buyers, yes. It costs less than Minimal Wear (MW) and Factory New (FN) while still showing the tread clearly, and it's the easiest grade to find on the market. Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred (BS) go cheaper still if you don't mind heavier scuffing.

Which gloves go with the Red Tire?

Its black-and-red palette calls for a warm, high-contrast loadout, so red or black gloves fit best — red wraps pick up the tread color while black keeps things understated. It slots neatly beside other red-accented pistols or rifles for a matched set.
