Default Tire speed rating for Gen 4, and brand, help

Hello, need to replace my tires, but am seeing at one of the local shops that they recomend W speed raiting which is for 165 mph. This is a Vtec, but I am never bringing it over 110. What speed rating does Honda recomend, and what is a good tire for this car.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

what kind of tire? all season, performance, wet/dry performance? That said I am very happy with my hankook z212, only good for the summer, but stick like glue, and they are z rated.

If they're still factory sized tires, H or V. A lot of times, you can't get low profile 17" tires in lower speed ratings. Speed ratings, btw, don't measure top speed as much as they rate how well the tire dissipates heat
