Default Best 195/50/15 tires for looks

I know that a lot has been said on the subject for good 195/50/15 tires, but since I am limited by the choice of brands, I have the following question. Car currently is 200whp and i dont think i will push it more than that.
I have 15x7.5 rims and was wondering which of these brands won't puff the sidewalls like balloons. Do they have to be whit stiffer sidewalls and is it ok for twisty roads?

I'd personally run something wider and lower treadwear at that power level unless you plan on driving the car very conservatively. Your wheels are in the range where a 205 tire will still fit nicely. How come you're looking at 195s?

im on 215/40/16 tires right now and i dont like them. The rims are heavy af, also of this size it is very difficult to find tires so I decided after everything I read that 195/50 will do the job as I want to keep the look of a full rim. Im good if there is a little strech too
