Default Recommended tires 96 civic coupe

I just got my gc+koni yellow combo installed and the vehicle lowered somewhere around the 2.5 range. I purchased some drag dr27's and im looking for a good tire and tire size that some of the more educated people would recommend. They are 15x7 +10 offset, the car see's about 40 miles if that a week as my drive to work is rather short but i do like to cruise on the weekends. I have adjustable camber front and rear and as stated gc coilovers. I plan to keep the car nice and low like it is and i don't want to over spend on a tire just for a name. I would like some advice as to whats a good brand tire to use and a size you all would suggest using. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give. I have also seen alot of info for 195/45/15 but mainly on pre 96 civics and im not sure how much rolling would be needed to make a tire like that fit. I don't mind running some neg camber since apparently running neg camber is ok as long as you have the toe set correctly so that isn't an issue. My wife picked out these wheels for me and i like them as-well so i'd really like to make these work.

i dont know if you want cheap tires but i bought 4 tires for a really good price. have u heard of JINYU? i got a 195-45-15 on my civic and it sits perfectly even wen i drop it a lil more. i like the high profile tire better cuz its more safer and rides alot smoother. low profile tire can be very bumpy from my experience

195/50R15 is a good size with a wider variety of options
