Car question

No.

You should seriously consider replacing the original tires on the car with a tire that has the same speed rating. The manufacturer presumably knew what they wanted on the car.

You're right, not a top concern, for everybody except xoB. I think a better guide for tire replacement is how you use your car. You've said as much yourself; no cars come equipped with snow tires, yet they're the right tire for the job, irrespective of the speed rating and original equipment.

The way I drive in my current car, nothing close to 118 mph is needed, so that's an irrelevant condition for me.
