I'm looking at the same mod, and I'm not a speed demon in the H2, but I will be towing.
Thanks!

Acceleration is near the same, slightly less, but I was running 37 x 13.50 R18s previously. These were an 1" wider than what I have now. And I do mean slightly less. My wife can't tell a difference but this is my daily driver. It is definitely a much smoother ride than my previous tires / rims.
Vibrations: I had to take my 2 rear wheels to get balanced at a local Off-Road shop (Walmart or Jiffy Lube can't balance a 37" tire). My L Rear took 18oz & my R Rear took 16 oz. I rarely go over 65, but this morning I looked at the speedo & I was doing 72. It was still smoooooth!
I did read that with the Hutchinson VFI Runflats, they spec them as Anti-Mine. Make sure the wheels you get are 'E' Load rated and with the VFI runflats. The older versions do vibrate quite a bit and are near impossible to get balanced.
Good luck & keep me posted!
