I think nowadays all the tire manufacturers are producing tires which have excessive speed rating. Do I really need a tire that can sustain 130mph or more in U.S.?

I just ordered a set of Bridgestone RE950 (H Speed Rating) for my 99 E430 Sport. The sales associate told me that my car needs a Z speed rating. I told him that I hardly ever go over 100mph. Even if I do, it would not last for couple seconds.
