You probably had the Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce (same as me) which I hated also. So so handling, and horrible wet traction. I dumped them at 19K miles.
Switching to 50 series will aid in handling, given the same tire, all else equal. But ride will suffer a bit as well, and Saab's wheels can be kinda soft. Stick with the 55 series and just get a better tire. I put on Bridgestone Potenza RE950 at 205/55VR-16. Terrific tires. Handles much better than OEM Pirellis, dry and wet stick like gorilla glue, and decent ride to boot. Even better, I've had them on now for 21K miles and they've only worn 3/32 out of 11/32 tread depth (rare for V-rated).
Check out Tirerack.com to get some good info whatever you choose.
