Kevin K is right on the mark (as usual) about your alignment. Outside tire wear is NOT "normal for Saabs" and you need to find someone who can do a proper alignment for you and advise you if you need any suspension components replaced.
I also agree that you'll get a smoother ride with a narrower, higher profile tire, though at the expense of dry pavement cornering grip. Unless you do a lot of spirited cornering, though, you should be happy with 185/65-R15 tires.
Check online at http://www.tirerack.com and see what tires are available in that size. You might find it's less expensive to order them online and have them installed for you at one of TireRack's installation affiliates, than it is to buy tires from your local tire store directly.
Good luck!
