Don't forget load and speed ratings...

I agree that sizing is important but so is the load and speed rating of the tire. AFIK SAABs require an 'Extra Load' (XL) tire because our cars are heavy. Speed ratings also affect the way the tire will perform and interact with the suspension, but that's more of a performance/safety concern.
I value my life too much to be driving on 'budget' tires so sorry, I can't make recommendations but that has more to do with the way I drive ; )
As others have recommended, TireRack is a good source...
