Tire cupping--tire recommendations '99 9-3 SE

I've gone through two sets of tires through 60 K miles(the OEM Michelins and Bridgestone RE 730 gen.2). And I run winter tires for four months of the year! Both sets cupped badly and eventually had horrible "slapping" noise, despite the fact that I rotated and had alignments done regularly. Princeton Saab says it's a design problem with the rear & they came up with a way to shim and align it properly (Chevy Cavalier shims?). I'm buying new tires and trying to decide if I just buy some cheap tires in case they cup again or if some other brand or size (205-55-16) might hold up better. I've never had this problem on my other cars (Toyota Corolla, Acura Integra).
