As others have posted, you need to go to 16" rims to get higher profile tires and a softer ride. One option you may consider is to buy the Saab Snow Tire Package for this winter and swap the tires later. You can swap back to Snows until you use them up. This might be an option as you basically get free snow tires from Saab. The package is $940 for the set or $235 per tire.
If you look around you'll find that lots of alloy rims will run you about $200+ ea. so the Saab one is actually a decent deal and they already come with snow tires. The rims are the Saab 16" 7 spoke BBS ones.

Obviously this depends on where you live.
