@bglsrini
Estilo VXi comes with what I have upgraded to,namely 155/65 R 13 tubeless.But those are usually stock MRF ZVTS or JK Tyre. I upgraded to Michelin XM1 as these are extremely capable (I have done speeds in excess of 165 Kmph -straight line offcourse ), exceptional in wet conditions and with very low tyre noise but with a good ride comfort. I am very happy with the Michelins. You can try them if you want. The second part of your query would be best answered by our resident 'tyre experts' -- kpzen and iraghava . Pm them and get your clarifications done.

My Questions:
1) Which size should i go for??
I'm looking for performance with less tyre noise.
2) Which company's rubber is good??
I didn't like my Bridgestone tires even though the company claims:

@TC_aashay
If you want to switch to tubeless ones,you can try Apollo Acelere or Michelin XM1 Energy.
As I said above,please ask kpzen or iraghava.They will gladly help you out guys.
