Winter Tyres and Speed Ratings

My current tyres are Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season 275/45 R21 110Y M+S.

I would like to get some winter tyres. An "obvious" choice might be Pirelli Scorpion Winter 255/55 R20 110V XL fitted to some new rims.

The placard in the door jam shows...

235/65R19 109V
255/55R20 110Y
275/45R21 110Y
275/40R22 108Y

But I can not find any 20" winter tyres with a Y Speed Rating; am I worrying necessarily, or am I looking in the wrong place? Any assistance gratefully received!

Winter tyres have a lower speed rating generally and I'm sure the handbook will confirm this if you check the approved winter tyres guide

There used to be a LR webpage for checking but can't find it right now

This is from online handbook
