The C-3s originally came with an F70-15, which was later superceded with a GR70-15, and later, a 225/70 or 255/60/15. All of these tires are in the 27" OD range.

The original tire was F 70 15 which my research tells me translates to a 215/70/15 in todays world. The 225 is a little wider but will fit. So they tell me!

My local Discount Tire will match the Tirerack price and add about $50 or so for the shipping cost. I would ask if they would match the price and print it off for them to see.
Good luck

There is a four digit number that tells you when the tire was manufactured, it was on the inside of the tire and hard to read. As of 2010 it's now on the outside, check that date so you don't buy old tires.
