if the only difference is one size smaller on the sidewall, then is should be no problem.


EDIT: Where did you get these tires? I can't find anything on the googles about them...Are they Passenger or LT tires? Radials?

The only problem with those tires is that they are about 20 years old. I would worry about the safety of those .
This was the number for tire in those day's
