No probs if its 2 wheel drive. There are some that say more caution is needed with 4 wheel drive in order to ensure you don't get 'wind up' between the front and back drives. However, I'm not sure what advice people would give about correct tyre sizes in that case - hopefully someone on here will know, but meanwhile you can have a search for previous discussions. 8)
