Speed rating of H is 130 mph. If that's not WOT, it's darn close. Speed-wise, H is fine.
What you want to REALLY make sure of is the load rating. The Valk is heavy.

You want to know what is the OEM tire rated to, and buy a replacement tire that is either equal to or greater than, that rating (load and speed).

oem is H-rated radial.
I run a V-rated bias-ply on the front and H-rated on the back.
