yeah - previous owner had this size, and so I just bought the same ones - only after that did I discover they weren't quite correct...
I've gotten mixed feedback from folks - some say shouldn't be a big deal (I have 7000 miles on them ... no issues so far) - some say really shouldn't stretch them that far..
I'm a bit nervous about moving to a summer tire just for those few weeks/months a year where the temps are a bit low (I'm in Northern California - don't drive in the snow, but mornings can be in the 30s/40s) - don't want to end up sliding around
maybe I'm over thinking it... dunno.
