In this video, I put the brand-new Pirelli Scorpion XTM head-to-head with one of the most popular all-terrain tyres on the market, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3.

l look at on-road comfort, noise, and steering response, before taking both tyres off-road to see how they handle sand, gravel, rock, and more. The KO3 is a worthy benchmark thanks to its excellent comfort, low road noise, and strong snow and off-road performance, but Pirelli claims the XTM matches or beats it in almost every measurable category.

I cover:

What’s new with the Pirelli Scorpion XTM vs the old Scorpion AT+
How it compares to the KO3 in comfort, noise, and steering feel
Off-road traction, braking, and handling differences
Key stats like treadwear, weight, and price
Whether Pirelli’s bold performance claims hold up in real-world driving

Both are premium, 3PMSF snow-rated all-terrain tyres — but which one would I pick? Watch to find out.
