The cars (Audi, BMW, etc) in question have governors limiting their speeds to 128 or 130mph-even though these cars are capable of more (without the governors). SAAB does not restrict any of their cars to this artificial limit, as the 9-3s are easily capable of breaking 140mph (9-3SE in C&D 1/01 hit 144mph) and the 9-5s can nearly match that too (base 9-5 stick with 170hp motor hit 138mph in an old C&D test, the 9-5SE V6 hits 142mph, the Aero 151mph (stick), auto 153mph (auto).
Also, the H rated tires in the above mentioned cars limited skidpad grip and lengthened braking distances (that means poorer traction).
But don't ask me. Call SAAB or call your dealer and ask them if H rated tires are OK. If they say fine, they're fine.
