Low budget yet good quality tires

Kung scratch, oks lang yan. Kung gush or laceration on the rubber, that you will to assess properly.

Hindi naman ito puputok bigla2 egan bai? Check the tire pressure 34psi on overnight parking and 37-38psi upon travelling... Still 1year and 11k km running siya... plan to replace it sa 5years pa or 50k km....

Kung gasgas lang yan, it will be fine. Pero kung may sugat tapos kita na yung ply, change mo na.

So I lowered my car recently. I'm quite happy with everything except for the rubbing that occurs when there is a sudden change in road elevation and or when I turn a bit too fast.
I'm currently on 195/55/15. My friend suggested that I change to smaller tires to lessen the rubbing.
Now I'm thinking of downsizing the front tires to 185/45/15. Front tires only since I find no problems with the rear tires at the moment (and budget concerns haha).
Is this a good idea? Would I encounter problems if I push through with this?

Edit:
After doing some searches I don't think 185/45/15 tires exist lol. Maybe I'll go with 195/45/15.
What do you guys recommend? Thanks

Keep the tire size the same for both front and rears. I assume FWD yung kotse mo so it helps in rotation. Tama na yung current tire size mo and putting a smaller tire may not be good for the ride. Since you lowered the car, learn to live with it or raise it a bit to put some clearance on your tires.

May I ask how you lowered it? The problem probably lies there.

Yes, FWD. It's a 1997 civic. I can live with the occasional rubbing since it does not look like it's damaging anything but if I could fix it with smaller tires, then I'd rather go for it. Tutal medyo palitin na rin yung 2 gulong ko, mas manipis na tires na lang sana ipapalit ko if ever na makakatulong nga sa pag lessen ng rub.

Bought a set of lowering springs to lower the car. It's one of those generic lowering springs.

Usually if it's a brand that makes model specific ones like Eibach it shouldn't have any issues assuming the tire diameter is the same as stock. You could get stiffer shocks and taller bump stops. With these, contact will be minimized and at least it's the bump stops that will take the beating, not the body.
