*Which* wheels and tires you have makes all the difference. If you've got an Aero w/ 17" wheels and 45-series tires, pressures approaching and even exceeding 40 psi are highly recommended unless you drive on billiard-table smooth roads. There have been many, many stories here from Aero owners with damaged tires and dented rims from potholes, etc.
If you have the 16-inch wheels and 55-series tires, you're less at risk. That's what I have and I usually run 37 psi all around. I don't like the lack of steering precision that Saab's recommended pressure gives, although the car breaks traction more easily when powering out of corners.
Feel free to experiment w/ your tire pressures up to the maximum printed on your tire.
