The speed rating of a tyres is not always matched to the top speed of the vehicle, they also taking into acount the load rating, so a heavy car may have higher speed rating tyres, that a lower rating could cope with on paper.

Hope that makes sence?

Yep, and on the S, the load rating is 89 on the front and 92 on the back - the bit before the W

The only thing that save weight on my Vectra as whe omission on rear electric windows might explain why they had to go for ZRs
