tyre can withstand taking into account the maximum design speed of the vehicle.
              5.2.2.3. The manufacturer shall provide in the vehicle owner's handbook, or by any other communication means in the vehicle the necessary information about replacement tyres load capacity.
              5.2.3. Speed capacity
              5.2.3.1. Every tyre with which the vehicle is normally fitted shall bear a speed category symbol.
              5.2.3.1.1. In the case of a tyre of class C1, the speed category symbol shall be compatible with the maximum vehicle design speed and shall take into account, in the case of tyres of speed categories V, W and Y, the maximum load rating as described in Regulation No. 30.
              5.2.3.1.2. In the case of tyre of class C2, the speed category symbol shall be compatible with the maximum vehicle design speed and the applicable load/speed combination derived from the "table load-capacity variation with speed" as described in paragraph 2.29. of Regulation No. 54.
              5.2.3.2. The requirements of paragraphs 5.2.3.1.1. and 5.2.3.1.2. shall not apply in the following situations:
              5.2.3.2.1. In the case of temporary-use spare units for which paragraph 5.2.5. of this Regulation applies.
              5.2.3.2.2. In the case of vehicles normally equipped with normal tyres and occasionally fitted with snow tyres where in such a case the speed category symbol of the snow tyre shall correspond to a speed either greater than the maximum vehicle design speed or not less than 160 km/h (or both). However, if the maximum vehicle design speed is greater than the speed corresponding to the lowest speed category symbol of the fitted snow tyres, a maximum speed warning label, specifying the lowest value of the maximum speed capability of the fitted snow tyres, shall be displayed inside the vehicle in a prominent position readily and permanently visible to the driver.
              5.2.3.2.3. In the case of vehicles equipped with special use tyres. However, if the maximum vehicle design speed is greater than the speed corresponding to the lowest speed category symbol of the fitted special use tyres, a maximum speed warning label, specifying the lowest value of the maximum speed capability of the fitted special use tyres, shall be displayed inside the vehicle in a prominent position readily and permanently visible to the driver.
              5.2.3.2.4. In the case of vehicles equipped with an on-board system fulfilling a speed limitation function where in such a case the speed symbol of the tyres shall be compatible with the speed at which the limitation is set. However, if the vehicle manufacturer has foreseen that the maximum vehicle design speed is greater than the speed corresponding to the lowest speed category symbol of the fitted tyres, a maximum seed warning label, specifying the maximum speed capability of the tyres, shall
