By E mark I presume your talking about a standards requirement? Unlike lenses, lights etc tyres have the coding as part of the tyre size embossed into the tyres.

For speed rating I believe you will need at least a T rated tyre, I've yet to confirm this, so don't take it as gospel yet. When my engineer comes back to me I'll know more.

A good source of info. on tyre tech is through the Tirerack.com site have a browse and read up here.

I think too that tyre age might have a limit and I could be pushing that one as well given my kit came with the tyres bought in 2000 by the previous owner. Obviously if you are buying new that's not an issue for yourself.

What size rims and tyre styles are you considering, as this can have a bearing on what tyre availability is out there!

Cheers
