Tire difference of 3 % is the limit allowed and you have a difference of 7 % which is way too much out of allowable tolerance. If it is a high powered engine the difference might not be noticeable but for your engine which is three cylinder, it means a lot of difference. You should get a set of original specs tires for testing to get instant results.
H or S is not the problem. That is the specs for maximum speed allowed.
When you could not drive above forty kph, was there any indicator light showing in dash, especially the check engine light? Has the vehicle been checked for trouble codes? While cleaning the catalytic converter residues of chemical could have caused the engine to behave abnormally and after these chemicals had been expelled the engine performed normally again.
Emission of black smoke for this vehicle is quite common. They quite often build up in the exhaust system and after revving the engine for a few minutes they are cleared.
If the CVT fluid is recommended to be replaced, you should replace it as the mileage is now over the recommended figure.
What modifications has been made to the exhaust system? Improper matching of the exhaust can result in performance issues.
If the exhaust manifold is not clogged, cleaning it would serve no purpose?
