There is no speed letter for 70 MPH. Did the tire actually have, "MAX SPEEC 70 MPH printed on it?
Again, I reiterate, official tire speed ratings can only become official if displayed on the tire with a speed letter or a value molded on the tire sidewall.
ST tires without having an official speed rating on their sidewalls default to the TRA standard of 65 MPH.
Here are a couple of pictures showing the two official methods of depicting tire speed ratings on a tire sidewall. The first shows a tire service description followed by a letter L. The "L" is the speed letter for 75 MPH. The second picture shows a tire with an actual tire speed rating molded onto the tire sidewall.
