I'm ignorant about tires and wheels and Google-fu ain't working for me.
Am I going to be okay here? Need to buy tires today.

Re-look at those numbers. I think the tires (LRE) will be rated 2830 lbs @ 80 psi. The speed rating is completely different. Your wheels should have the weight/psi they will hold. I've not seen a wheel (there may be some) that have the max speed stamped on them. Both items, wheels and tires, are marked for max weight allowed and/or max pressure allowed - those are the 2 items you should primarily be concerned with. Also, when upgrading to the LRE tires have them install steel valve stems then install a TPMS system if you don't have one.
As a note; when looking at the tires the max
pressure allowed for a specific load range will correspond to a separate max
weight, ie; 2830 @ 80psi for LRE. Other load range/sizes have their own weight/pressures that can be found on any number of tire sites.
From what you have posted, and my interpretation of the numbers, it looks like you are going to be fine with the wheel/tire combo.
