BFGoodrich All Terrain KO3 vs Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT

1st of 2 tyres

• 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.
