BFGoodrich All Terrain KO3 vs Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT

285/70 R17 • 2025

1^st/2

The new Scorpion XTM marks a significant step forward for Pirelli in the all-terrain space. Designed with the North American market in mind, it combines a more aggressive tread with a lighter overall weight, sharper steering, and strong all-surface performance. On-road, the XTM offers a firmer ride on initial impact but quickly settles, giving it an edge on surfaces with constant minor imperfections. Noise levels are competitive with the KO3, but its real advantage lies in steering response and predictability, both on tarmac and loose terrain. Off-road, it proved equally grippy while being easier to control, especially when sliding or steering out of ruts. In this test, the XTM edged ahead overall, showing Pirelli has built a genuine rival to the established leaders.

Questions and Answers for the Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT

Ask a question

December 24, 2025

Why do you think Pirelli is listing the max psi at 36 for P275/70r18 size? Seems low, as cold temp psi is recommended 35 for many trucks/suvs.

Where have you seen the 36psi maximum? You're right that does seem like an error.

December 29, 2025

I was incorrect about the 36psi- referenced 3-4 different sources online, it was listed as such. Some have corrected. Max inflation pressure for the P275/70r18’s is 44psi. Cheers

Thanks for following up, appreciated!

Top 3 Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT Reviews

Given 87% while driving a Ford Bronco (275/70 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles

I thought I'd try these out as they were cheaper than the KO3s. So far so good, dramatic improvement in steering over the KO2s and from some wet running, a lot more wet grip. I don't have any snow or ice driving yet but will update in the future.

So far so good, I like them. Nice and comfortable and quiet. Solid offroad.

Dry grip is equivalent for an All Terrain, handles a little better with a superior sidewall feel to others that I have used, Toyo, BFG, Goodyear Wrangler, Nitto.
Comfort is better than the Michelin Primacys that came on the car. Noise is very low. I'm in a Defender, and the wind noise surpasses tire noise.
Had snow last night, and they performed well. Little to no slippage and very little ABS engagement.

Tires have 200 miles on them will update later on.

Initial Impressions Review

Given 78% while driving a Nissan Titan Pro 4x 2024 (275/70 R18) on a combination of roads for 200 spirited miles

I think the Pirelli XTM AT’s are at the top of the list for comfort (P-rated, SL) and road grip so far. Much better response and feedback than the OE General Grabber APT’s (same size: P275/70r18). Tread pattern and sidewalls are aggressive but not blocky. Likely will not test in ice/snow, but 3PMSF gives some indication. For a solid 80-85% highway and 15-20% off road, they seem to fit the bill perfectly. Recent purchase. Will update after 10k+ miles.
