Tyre Speed Rating

My tyres have this written on them:

185/60 R 13 80H

Would that read as rating H (ok) or rating R (not ok)

Cheers,

Pat...

Rating H

R is the size of the wheel, ie 13 inches.

Editied to say R actually means "Radial" rather than anything to with size, sorry. Your speed rating is still H though
