Volkswagen Virtus tyres

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.

Sujith, Coimbatore

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.
