Upsizing the tyres will also help improve both handling and ride comfort of your car.
I own a 2013 Hyundai i10 1.1-litre petrol (not the Grand i10), which runs on stock 155/80 R13 tyres. I want to upgrade them to a larger size and have always preferred Bridgestone B250 tyres. Please tell me to what extent I can upgrade my tyres to, and to what size. I also want to upgrade to alloy wheels, so please suggest what company and wheel size would work best with the upsized tyres.

Autocar India says: You can fit the 175/70 R13s as an upsize option for the i10. Since you are happy with the Bridgestones you could opt for the same brand in the above size. Alloy wheels are available from Indian brands, such as Neo wheels. The others available are aftermarket alloys made in Taiwan and other countries. The same upsizes 175/70 R13s would be compatible with the alloy wheels as well.
