If that speed rating is not displayed on the individual tire sidewall it's a 65 MPH tire.
The importance of having speed ratings on ST tires is their link to load capacity. Very basically, it means a tire rated at 75 MPH can carry its maximum load capacity up to that constant speed. Above that, the tire degrades more rapidly as the speed goes up.
