Glock-18 | Red Tire

Glock-18 | Red Tire is a CS2 pistol skin with a black-and-red tire-tread design. Dark surfaces, diagonal red streaks and broken white markings give it a busy, automotive-inspired appearance. The finish suits players who prefer patterned weapons over plain color schemes. Standard and Souvenir versions are available, with exteriors ranging from Factory New to Battle-Scarred.

Description

Glock-18 | Red Tire gives the Terrorist-side pistol a layered graphic finish in CS2. Its Spray-Paint treatment combines tire-tread shapes with a predominantly charcoal-and-black palette. Red streaks interrupt the dark surfaces, adding direction to the pattern across the slide and grip. White lines and partial lettering provide contrast without replacing the underlying tread motif. The look suits players building a dark loadout with red accents or an automotive theme. The weapon itself serves as an opening-round pistol against unarmored opponents and supports three-round bursts. Buyers can choose between standard copies and Souvenir versions, depending on their collecting preferences. When comparing listings, the exact float, exterior and version matter more than the shared finish name alone.

History and Origin

Glock-18 | Red Tire was released on September 21, 2021, as part of The 2021 Vertigo Collection. Its introduction came with the Operation Riptide update, establishing the finish's original release context. Valve created the skin, rather than a community designer. The Vertigo collection identity also connects it to the Souvenir package route available today. It appears in 6 Souvenir packages, including the Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package and Antwerp 2022 Vertigo Souvenir Package. Those event-specific package names distinguish Souvenir acquisition from buying an existing standard copy. Current owners can sell or trade the skin through marketplaces and player-to-player exchanges. Trade Up Contracts offer another present-day route to the collection's Industrial Grade items, with Red Tire among the possible results.

Finish Style

The Spray-Paint finish uses overlapping tire graphics rather than a uniform block of color. Dark charcoal and black dominate the slide, frame and grip. Mottled gray tread shapes spread across those surfaces, giving the pattern a layered appearance. Thin red streaks cross the slide diagonally and reappear in smaller patches along the grip. Broken white lines and incomplete lettering stand out near the rear of the slide and down the grip. Lighter gray accents appear on the muzzle face and along the lower grip edge. The mostly black trigger remains visually quieter than the surrounding patterned surfaces. Together, the tread blocks, stripes and markings create a busy finish with a clear automotive character.

Float Value

Glock-18 | Red Tire has an exact float range of 0.00 to 0.55. It is available in Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, so none of those exterior categories is missing. Souvenir versions exist; version availability is separate from the cosmetic condition represented by float and exterior.

Rarity and Popularity

Glock-18 | Red Tire has the Industrial Grade rarity classification, independent of its exterior condition. Its listed collection acquisition chance is 4.0%, or about 1 in 25 outcomes from The 2021 Vertigo Collection. Professional players tarik, Devilwalk and decenty have owned the skin, providing documented ownership without establishing broader demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Black-and-red tread graphics give the pistol a distinct automotive identity

• White markings add contrast to the dark slide and grip

• Standard and Souvenir options serve different collecting preferences

• Available exteriors span Factory New through Battle-Scarred

Price Range

The live Glock-18 | Red Tire price range is $0.89 to $39.30. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a particular exterior or version. For a useful CS2 skin price comparison, check each listing's exterior, exact float and standard or Souvenir designation. Its modest price level makes individual listing details worth comparing before choosing a copy to buy, sell or trade.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Souvenir Package

Open a compatible Vertigo Souvenir package for a chance at a Souvenir Glock-18 | Red Tire. Available examples include the Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package and Antwerp 2022 Vertigo Souvenir Package. The skin is a possible result, not a guaranteed package outcome.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract using 10 Consumer Grade skins from The 2021 Vertigo Collection produces 1 Industrial Grade skin from that collection. Red Tire can be the result, but selection is random among the collection's Industrial Grade skins, so the contract does not guarantee it.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy an existing Glock-18 | Red Tire through the Steam Community Market instead of relying on a random result. Check the listing's exterior and whether it is standard or Souvenir, then compare its price with other available copies.

5. Trade with Other Players

Trade with another player who owns the version and exterior being sought. Confirm the item name, float and Souvenir designation before accepting, since sharing the Red Tire finish does not make every copy equivalent.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The skin's modest price level and documented professional ownership offer context, but do not establish dependable resale demand. Buyers should compare standard and Souvenir listings by exterior and exact float before planning a trade. Without verified supply trends or trading activity, short-term resale potential remains uncertain.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Distinctive black-and-red tire-tread design

• Established identity within The 2021 Vertigo Collection

• Souvenir options tied to named tournament packages

• Documented ownership by professional players

Glock-18 | Red Tire receives a medium investment rating, supported by its modest entry price, collection identity and documented professional ownership. Those qualities support consideration as a collectible, not a forecast of price growth. The main risk is uncertain resale demand, with no verified supply trend supporting a stronger outlook.
