Forget the stickers. I have a Freelander2, live in France and often tow a trailer and yes the train weight is over 3.5Tonnes and therefore, when towing, officially you will be restricted to the reduced speed limits.
Personally I keep to the normal speed limits but don't usually go above 110kph on the motorway.

Hi walker.
Have a look at the Caravan Club website which explains the situation quite clearly.
It is nothing to do with the weight of the trailer.
Yes, you are restricted to 80 or 90 kph but although a legal requirement it is understood that the 'sticker' rule won't be enforced. They are only a few bob so it is up to you whether or not you use them.
With relatively small wheels, personally, I would stick to the 80/90 limits.
