The Pattern
BC100 UHP

A silica-based summer touring tyre with an asymmetric tread, built for everyday value and wet-weather confidence.

The Sumitomo BC100 is a summer touring tyre built around a silica-rich compound and a five-rib asymmetric tread. Wide circumferential grooves and a rounded water evacuation design help clear surface water and resist aquaplaning, while a stiffened central rib adds stability and sharpens steering response on dry roads. It is engineered to balance dependable everyday grip, comfort and hard-wearing tread life, making it a practical value choice for daily driving across a broad range of sizes.

  • Silica-rich compound for all-round grip
  • Five-rib asymmetric tread pattern
  • Wide grooves to resist aquaplaning
  • Stiffened central rib for stability and steering response
  • Hard-wearing design aimed at everyday value
Best for Everyday hatchbacks and saloons in daily use
