Product description & features

The Sumitomo BC100 has been designed to provide drivers with confidence in both safety and performance.

Carefully designed by Sumitomo to feature broad circumferential grooves – spaced meticulously to deliver optimal performance – the BC100 has exceptional resistance to aquaplaning due to the rounded water evacuation systems that have been woven within the tyre. To provide additional confidence in wet conditions, the Sumitomo BC100 has a stiffened central rib to provide extra stability.

Created with a silica-rich compound design and a 5-rib asymmetric tread design, the BC100 delivers outstanding directional stability and handling, while also providing shorter braking distances. Thanks to the unique tread design, there is a notable increase in steering response in dry conditions.

The BC100 is available in 13-inch to 19-inch rim sized tyres.

Please note: before you select your tyres, ensure that the tyre size that you intend to order are the correct variant and matches your vehicle type.

These tyres are a great all-rounder for their price point. I have driven long road trips to North of Scotland in heavy rain and had no concerns or issues with them. I do frequent city driving and have no complaints.
