I need to get better tires S70

Hi
I just got my s70 t5M a litle while ago and the one thing I am disappointed in is the tires. I've got Continental 205/55's but they aren't as good as I need. I am switching to Volvo from an Audi, and I never had any problems with that ( It was a FWD 1988 90).
My problem is with both driving hard and driving in wet/slick weather. Last night I was going through an S type curve in a residential area and I had enormous oversteer. The thing was I was at 25. The tracs was on, and I wasn't speeding. I never had problems like that in my other car.
So what I need to know is what tires I should get. I need some that are sticky and can handle me driving the T5 like its a fun turbo car. I corner hard and love twisties, and I know I need some new tires.
Any and all recomendations are welcome.

Dave
