Not really!
Need a 10mm hole. Bloke at bunnings suggested drilling a 6mm first.
Seem right?
Don't want to crack tiles!

Use a masonary bit but don't use the hammer function.
Better still, get some of these
If the bloke at Bunnings said so, then it must be so.
That rally crash in NZ was NASTY.

Pointy ones are glass/tile bits.

Hi, exactly what Jase said!! 
Don't use the hammer function or you will end up with cracks migrating out from the hole (or the tile will start to work itself loose), good idea regarding the pilot hole, I would do that first.
'Dam, get the proper bits, I wouldn't be keen on using masonry bits on tiles.. can try and it may work but it also may not.
I was just thinking now... It would be cool if one day we can be transfered into a cyborg body before we die so that we can live forever... but the one bit complication I see with this is how do you get a cyborg drunk..... I think that is something that needs to be pursued before I would agree to become a cyborg.

Found a kit ranging from 3 to 10mm on eBay for $12 which is cheaper than the 2 bits I bought. Think I'll grab them!

No idea. But I dont want to spend $20 to drill 2 holes haha.
It's from the UK and they are probably all made in the same factory!
