Tyre speed ratings?

Im shopping around the net for a full set of BFG All Terrain T/A KO tyres and most online suppliers have two speed rating options - R & Q.

Q = 99mph
S = 112mph

Both are load rated at 123.

Theres about £10/tyre difference between the two. Does it really matter which one I fit, considering I cant really achieve any speed higher than 75mph in my 300tdi?
