How different are Z and Y rated Michelin Pilot Sports?

Besides speed rating...
I need to replace one (pot hole destroyed it), but mine are all Z rated. The tire rack has a deal right now on 225/40YR-18.

Thanks,

Joe

Y is in essence a type of Z, y is something like up to 168 while Z is over 149. X and Y where added

for more clarity so quite possibly the same, they just regraded it.
