The 87 and 91 indicate the load rating of the tire.
91 indicates a load rating of 1356 lbs per tire, and 87 indicates a rating of 1201 lbs per tire. 87 is a typical rating for a 215/45-17 tire - 91 is usually a special XL duty tire.
For what it's worth, the Viggen came with an 87 rating tire on essentially the same chassis. So the 87 will probably be just fine unless you're going to carry some exceedingly heavy loads in the trunk. I'd go with the 87W, especially if it's lots cheaper.
