Correct answer

Spanish rules allow tyres with a higher speed code than the one given by the manufacturer to be fitted, as long as these tyres have the same or a higher speed capacity. This is based on the idea that tyres with a higher speed capacity can give the vehicle better performance and safety, as long as the fitting rules and the vehicle's specifications are still met.
