I’m looking for new tyres for my Virtus GT. Could you recommend options that are durable, quiet and smooth? Additionally, I’d appreciate any upsize recommendations for enhanced performance.

Autocar India says: The Volkswagen Virtus comes fitted with 205/55 R16 tyres and gets a 195/65 R15 spare wheel. You can opt for 215/55 R16s as an option, subject to body clearance. The Continental UltraContact or Yokohama BluEarth-GT are good choices in this size.
