Dude, I'm sorry, but most Indian car tyres SUCK.

Below 10 lakhs, I can only think of the Optra and the Elantra whose tyres are ok. Everything else is PATHETIC. The stock Bridgestone S322 which came OE on everything from the Santro to the Accent to the OHC is the worst tyre in existence. The Corolla was also a piece of crap as far as tyres went. And Nitrous is right, tubed tyres are unsafe.

Are you specifically talking with reference to Delhi, where people may be relentlessly oversizing tyres and wheels? But please remember, most cars, when sold in India, have tyres that are atleast 1 inch smaller than abroad.
