In my opinion and because of my experience your problem is not tires. It is the inner driver portion of the drive axle and CV joint as I have heard it described. I had the same problem exactly one year ago. When I bought mine ('99 9-3 base coupe automatic - almost two years ago from a non-Saab dealer) I also bought the after-market warranty they offered. I took it back to them and they fixed it at no cost to me. If I had to pay for it, it would have cost me about $350.00 according to the paperwork. The part itself was a little over $200.00. The nearest Saab dealer quoted me over $500.00 and would not honor the a-m warranty. That solved the problem and it's running great. I've put 40k miles (it now has 68k+) on this car in less than two years and have loved every mile. Have the drive axle checked, I'll bet the CV has lost grease, causing it to wear, and that is where the vibration comes from. The key is that it vibrates only when you accellerate. Good luck.
