a friend recently upgraded from stock 155\80\R13 on his I10 iRde and he is happy with the upgrade

The standard ones are 155/70 R13 and that too with tubes. These are 165/65 R13 Bridgestone tubeless.
Advantage:
They have excellent road grip as compared to the standard one.
Reliability of tubeless tyres.
Pattern looks good.
Lot of improvement in ride and handling.
Suspension also feels better.

Increasing tyre size more than this will take away the driving pleasure (hard steering) and adverse effect on mileage as well (SX4 rides on 205/ R16 and returns mileage of 9-10 kmpl in city driving).

I have driven Santro a few times & I am really upset about its stock tyres. I suggest you get broader tyres or atleast get one with better grip.

I too changed the tires on my i10 the moment I took it out of the showroom; I changed them from 155/80-13 to 175/70-13 and trust me, they do a lot for your driving pleasure. I have not noticed any drastic fall in mileage but the steering is light and road grip is fantastic I think you can go for these.
