This week, Pirelli invited Blackcircles.ca to a special event in California’s Death Valley to put its upcoming Scorpion XTM A/T tire to the test. Several vehicles – including Ford Bronco and electric Rivian models – were used to show just how versatile this all-terrain, all-weather tire really is, even in some of the most demanding conditions.
A harsh proving ground
The extreme environment of Death Valley served as an ideal testing ground for the Scorpion XTM A/T. Between the rocky trails, soft sand and intense heat, Pirelli’s new tire showed strong grip, solid durability and a surprisingly smooth ride — all signs that it’s built for tackling a wide range of terrains.
Ready for Canadian roads
While it was tested under the California sun, the Scorpion XTM A/T is engineered for Canadian winters and rugged terrain. With its 3PMSF certification (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake), the tire delivers confident performance on snow and ice, ensuring reliable traction when the weather turns rough.
