A case can be made for different sizes depending on your cicumstances and as you have seen different people have different options. However, IMO, you really can't go too far wrong with a 195/60 15 on a c900. Many SAAB 900 owners have agonized over this and in the end, after all has been considered, I think the majority (true there are plenty of exceptions) have tended to settle on the 195/60 15.
If this was a NG900 then I would want something wider (probably 16") and a serious rework job on the suspension too but the c900 gets along very very well with a quality 195/60 tire if the suspension is up to snuff.
If you want handling and they haven't already been added get SAAB anti-sway bars for your 85 900t (unfortunately they did not have them as stock that year) and make sure that all of the suspension components are A-1 on the vehicle.
