I'm not an experienced tiler, but I do know something about cutting metal.
You can use a pair of straight cut aviation snips.  They will cut easily and cleanly.  The only problem might be if the tile is embossed with a pattern.  The cutting process will tend to flatten the relief along the edge of the cut.
Alternately, you can use a very fine tooth hacksaw (32 TPI) to cut them.  Clamp the tile to your workbench, between wood blocks so it doesn't move around. Then use a fine file or sandpaper to smooth the edge.  When you're working on metal it's a good idea to wear eye protection and a pair of gloves.   Hope this helps.</description>
