Depends innit...
Seriously though, tyres don't have weight limits as such.
89kg is chubbing-up nicely, but hardly 'merican.
23mm are fast becoming outdated on the road.
tl/dr
You'll be fine, but fatter tyres are better on the road and thinner tyres are better if you're time trialling.
Scilly.Suffolk-
'23mm outdated',
read, on here, agreed & understood,
but these tyres are a legacy of the unknowing mrs mespilus buying mespilus jr a bike she knew nothing about.'time trialling', ha ha ha,
not this year. Seldom hit 20 mph for a measured half mile, within a longer ride.
TT'ing will have to wait until the next stone, at least is shed.

Slightly less overweight old man unexpectedly receives pair of slightly worn 23mm Schwalbe Ones. Will 89kg of rider result in fiery/explosive death?
