Well, my 1990 CQ came with 205/60 R15s... I bought it as the third owner
at about 50kmiles, with the original Michelin MXV 4s still on it...

This is with the stock Speedline wheels.  I cannot imagine driving the CQ
with all season 50 series tires in New England...

I currently have 195/70 r15 Michelin Snows on steel rims mounted...My 
three season tires are the BF Goodrich Comp TA VR4s, which do a respectable 
job in the snow...

The problem is that the Speedlines have been getting beat 
up during the winter...So thanks to list member Chris Palmer, I was able to
get a proper set of winter shoes...

Not that I doubt Bob D, but are you sure about the 205/50 r15s?  Even the
Autoweek review of the CQ in July 10 1989, listed 205/60VR15 as the stock
size. (Yes I have a copy of the magazine in my desk)
