But for the ZXi the stock size is 185/70-R14 for which you will have to go for a 195/65-R14. But as far as I know the 65 profile tyre is not available at least in bangalore it isnt. So your next choice will be 195/70-R14. These will be slightly larger than your stock size but you should find goof FE & handling with these. Also as for the K&N is concernec is you are going in for a stock replacement filter then go for it. But if you plan to install a cold air intake system I suggest you wait till your warranty is over else it will be void the minute you install it.

Use this site to calculate tyre size...

The maximum difference normally should be within +/- 2% of the original. i usually keep it to the plus side.
