For the size you mentioned front : Fz 's tire is 100/80/17
while rear you can go for Pirelli sports demon or the Ninja 250 irc tires [both 130/70/17] .for something cheaper Zapper Vyde is a good choice .

But do remember putting oversize tires will also decease performance a bit

Both look nice.

Is Vee Rubber a reliable company?
Any idea of price and availability in Kolkata?
I kinda like the VRM134 model.
