should be ok. many people won't do it though. best ask Ads about where to go. I've heard cornering won't be very good on a stretched tyre too.

I have 14x8 on the front with 195/45/14 and 14x9 on the rear with 215/40/14 tyres. I have had no problem with the handling and managed to have a puncture repaired without any difficulties too. What width are your rims? anything wider than 8" may be too much for 195 tyres.
