The front are 255 and the rear 275.
The 275 looked perfect on the 8.5 I had before.
Don't know if you can see it in the pictures...

So assuming 265/35/20 front and 305/35/20 rear who makes a good street tire that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Nobody.
Nitto Invos are available in 255/35 and 295/35, which is close, and about as cheap as you're going to find a set of 20s.
That's about what I paid for my tires, but the 305s only last about 15k miles so that's $650 in tires every 8 months. Fortunately the fronts are at 40k miles and are holding up very well; I will probably get 75k out of them.

I'm guessing you have drag radials on the back?

Yeah, I wouldn't want to drive one of these cars without them.

Arm and a leg is relative. On my C5 I was running 18s with a 265/35 and 295/35 BFG Goodrich KDW2s and that was just under $1,000 at Discount Tire with warranty on all four tires. I really wanted to go with the same tires but I found these for a really good price and matching sizes front and rear for the 19s I have.
