A wheel balance problem would show up in the steering wheel, not your pants.
I've had this wobble feeling myself (on a non-Saab), right before the last of the air leaked out a tire and got shredded by the rim Since that scary day I've been tuned into the wobble feeling occasionally, but each time it was just the way the treads followed some grooves in the road, wind, etc. (I'd suspect the new tread pattern is what you're feeling.)
Go out and yank on the wheels to see if they are loose. (Another time I changed a tire myself and forgot to tighten... oops.) Better yet, jack it up and carefully test for looseness. You might need to bring it to a garage to have someone check other suspension issues if it still bugs you.
