Just looking at tyres and comparing prices and noticed on one site there is a difference of £15 on the same sportcontact 3 tyres because of speed rating.

On another site, black circles it says, from my plate info, that i need W rated tyres, suprise suprise, the more expensive one.

These are rated at 168 MPH but the cheaper one, V rated is rated at 149 MPH.

As the cars are only suposed to be capeable of, what is it 139 MPH? surely this would not be a problem.

What speed rating are on there from new?
 
You MUST check your insurance as buying tyres with a different speed rating from OEM could invalidate it.

For me, tyres is the one thing where money isn't an object. Get the right ones IMO.
