Different Speed Ratings on Tires

So I had to change out my rear tires as they were bald. The fronts are still good with at least 80% of tread on it. I asked for the same type of tires but when I got home, I realized they had installed the same tires but in different speed ratings.

I have ZR rated on the front and the rear new ones are WR rated. Does it really matter? Moderate driver here....
