most masonary bits will handle this, use a hammer drill and go slow, try to avoid areas of the stone that have veins and such.
Not to cause any trouble, but do not use a hammer drill unless your tile is firmly embedded. Use a regular masonry bit & a lubricant such as water & a steady & smooth pressure on the drill. Granite for all it's hardness is fairly fragile(DAMHIK) & will crack very easily. Especially in thin cuts like tiles.
