Default Wet track tyres

Hi guys.

Looking to buy a set of wet track tyres. I've got a set of drys already.
I'm looking at buying the uniroyal rainsport 3. Can anyone advise what the last part of the tyre code is. Trying to decide between 225/45/17 Y (94) and 225/45/17 V (94). What does the V (94) part refer to? Cheers

Thanks for clearing that up. Looks like I'll probably go for the Y (94) as they are rated to higher speeds. They are cheaper too.

Does anyone have experience with these on a wet track?

Cheers
