Daft winter tyre question

I've never used winter tyres before, so apologies in advance for my stupidity. Do you have to fit tyres with the same speed rating as the all season tyres?

Thx

No, you don't need to match speeds. However, your ultimate top speed will be limited to whichever speed-rating you select for your winter tire. So, if you plan on driving as fast with your winters as you do with your all-seasons, then you should get a higher-speed rated winter tire.

And it's tire, not tyre, dammit! And don't you dare use the word bonnet, either. (JK)
