The stock tire size on your 89' is 225/60/15

There are several good choices for street tires:
-Bridgestone Potenza RE730
-Goodyear Eagle F1 GS
-BF Goodrich G-Force KD
-Falken ZIEX ZE

They're fine for the front. If you're taking your car to the drag strip, you want to have smaller than average tires on the front wheels to get a reduction in weight.
