Tire Rating

Need to ask this of riders more knowledgeable than I.
Am I O.K. using a H rated tire?
I was going to put on another Toyo Proxes, but found a tire in the local shop that I like and is available asap. It is H rated.

Thats what I have. I don't cruise over 100mph very often and then not for long. No problems here. Be sure to check the born on date on the tire. He might be trying to unload an old item if the deal is to good to be true.

Thanks Jerry!!,
Where is the born date? on the tire sticker? on the sidewall?
Also, what is considered old? Two years??

I have just an H rated rain and snow tire! Works fine for me and I have ridden it recently because of someone on here for an hour at triple digits!!!!! I want say his name, but his initials are Smokey!!!!

Its on the side wall. Normally its just a 4 digit number for week and year. The tire manufacturers say to replace your car tires every 7 years. What you accept is up to you, but personally if its been sitting on a shelf more than a year I'll look somewhere else. Just for the peace of mind. That goes for mt too.
