Pirelli Launches New Scorpion XTM

Oct. 23, 2024

Pirelli Tire North America has launched its brand-new Scorpion XTM, which is designed to meet the demands of electric, hybrid and internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks and off-road vehicles. 

The "XTM" in the new tire's name stands for extreme performance, featuring aggressive styling and advanced technology, according to Pirelli officials.

The line also is 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake-certified and comes in two specialized versions: the Scorpion XTM for electric and plug-in hybrids and the Scorpion XTM for ICE vehicles.  

The electric and hybrid options are designed with Pirelli’s proprietary Elect technology to reduce rolling resistance and noise and maximize range. 

The ICE version emphasizes off-road grip, durability and highway comfort for light trucks.  

“The Scorpion XTM line is a testament to Pirelli’s commitment to continuously developing products specifically tailored to the needs of North American drivers,” says Claudio Zanardo, CEO of Pirelli Tire North America.  

“We recognize the importance of meeting regional demands and the XTM is designed to do exactly that - delivering exceptional performance across the diverse terrains and conditions that drivers in this region encounter.” 

The new line features an aggressive, high-void tread pattern with a radical sidewall designed with reinforced shoulder technology and comes with a 55,000-mile limited warranty.  

The Scorpion XTM will be offered in a range of LT and P-metric sizes, covering popular models like the Ford F-150 Lightning, Ram 1500, Rivian R1T and Chevrolet Silverado EV.
