I made a saving of around £15 a corner by simply just changing the speed rating from a 94V to a 94Y when I got new Bridgestone RE050A 250/50/17's recently.

Apparently a Y rating is more common, so it's cheaper than a V rated tyre.

You can go up in a speed rating, but not down from the recommended value.
