I have the same car and have some traction problems with 315's I can't imagine having a tire that narrow.

A little narrow (especially for a 9.5" wheel for an '89), but a good price. They would fit better on the 8.5" wheels like the stock size for a C5.

The local Sears does not have any around here.
