XM1014 | Blue Tire (Well-Worn)

The XM1014 | Blue Tire (Well-Worn) is a Consumer Grade shotgun with a black and blue tire-tread spray pattern, here in a visibly aged state. It's a cheaper route into the bold tire graphic, with wear the busy pattern still partly disguises.

Design

At its core the finish is an automotive graphic — heavy black tread blocks over a blue field, sprayed across the shotgun. It's a Valve-made design, and it carries a short, on-brand in-game line: "Burn rubber."

XM1014 | Blue Tire (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Well-Worn sits high on the capped 0.00–0.55 float range. Because that cap sits well below 1.0, even this grade never reaches the most extreme wear a full-scale skin would. Still, you'll see clear scuffing and paint thinning on edges and contact points, with the tread graphic staying readable through the aging.

XM1014 | Blue Tire Rarity

Grade-wise it's Consumer — the gray tier low on the standard weapon scale. Being the most common band, it keeps supply plentiful, which matters most at the budget end where this grade lives.

XM1014 | Blue Tire Case and Collection

Blue Tire is drawn from The 2021 Vertigo Collection, which arrived with Operation Riptide on September 21, 2021. With no case behind the collection, its skins were never unboxed — copies circulate through collection drops and secondary-market trades.

XM1014 | Blue Tire Patterns

Copies don't vary by pattern. The tire-tread graphic is a fixed layout printed the same on every unit, so the paint seed is meaningless and there's no "blue gem" seed to track down. Wear and float remain the only differences between one copy and the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Both a regular and a Souvenir version of this finish are out there, yet no StatTrak one exists — a counter was never minted for it. Souvenir copies began with the Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package and continued through later Major souvenir packages, since Souvenir weapons only come from Major tournaments.

XM1014 | Blue Tire Price

Well-Worn sits low on the ladder, below Field-Tested and above only Battle-Scarred — a bargain way into a finish that's already affordable across the board. It suits players who want the tire graphic for as little as possible. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the Well-Worn Blue Tire look?

Fairly worn, but not trashed. Expect visible scuffing and paint thinning along edges and contact points — more than Field-Tested, yet held back by the finish's low float cap. The busy black-and-blue tread graphic keeps it recognizable, so it still reads clearly as Blue Tire in-game.

Does the float cap change how worn it gets?

Yes. Blue Tire tops out at 0.55 rather than 1.0, so even Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred copies stay milder than the worst grades of a full-scale skin. You get honest aging without the blown-out, bare-metal extreme that uncapped finishes reach at the top of their float range.

Is Well-Worn worth it over Field-Tested?

Mostly if you want the lowest price. Field-Tested looks a bit tidier for a small step up in cost, so many buyers choose it. Well-Worn is the pick when you want the bold tire wrap as cheaply as possible without going all the way down to Battle-Scarred.
