When I got my General Grabbers AT tyres for my car, I checked with my insurance company about fitting tyres with a lower speed rating. The AT's are a H were as the Wrangers they were replacing were V ratings. Insurance company told me that insurance wise it wasn't an issue as long as I wasn't changing the tyre or wheel size.

The only input that I have from Belgium is that the speed rating of the tyres on the same axle must be identical.

Some insurance companies do require notification if you change the specification of the tyre from that originally fitted. My insurance company insisted I informed them when I switched from summer to winter tyres as it was considered a "performance modification". Crazy but true so to be on the safe side I would contact your insurer by email so you have evidence of their reply if the worst happens and you have an accident.
