[Auto] Pirelli Launches Scorpion XTM All-Terrain Tire for Both EVs and Gas Vehicles

[X A V I]

 

Pirelli has launched a new lineup of all-terrain tires in North America called the Scorpion XTM AT.

The off-road rubber is available in two variants: one for gas-powered trucks and SUVs and the other with Pirelli's Elect technology for vehicles with plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains.

There are 21 sizes available at launch (10 standard sizes and 11 Elect sizes) with wheel diameters ranging from 17 to 20 inches for the standard tires and 18 to 22 inches for the Elect tires.

It's no secret that the idea of both commuting to work and tackling the wilderness in the same vehicle has great appeal in the United States. In fact, many Americans already own a truck or an SUV built to do just that—think a Toyota Tacoma parked outside Kroger with a roof tent. Pirelli is entering the highest level of this lucrative market with its latest and most extreme all-terrain tire, the Scorpion XTM AT, which was developed in Texas and Brazil with the goal "to make Americans happy," according to Ian Coke, chief technical officer of Pirelli North America.
