HELP (58)H rated tyre

In trying to save my self a few quid, I think I may have caused my self a massive hassle!

I bought these from here

http://www.motorbiketyresuk.com/pire...yres-138-p.asp

Having just removed my wheels from my 748 ready to go get the new tyres fitted tomorrow I have noticed the speed ratings of the new pirelli's do not match that of my old dunlops.

Rears are same, 180/55 ZR 17 (73W)

But the old front 120/70 ZR 17 (58W) is not the same as the new one 120/70 R 17 (58H)

Is it safe to fit? have I been sold a moped tyre? why would someone sell me supersport fitment tyres that are only 130 mph speed rated.

Thought I had found a good deal, not so sure now
