Question ok as a spare?

Pardon the novice question, but can I use a 275/R16 as a spare tire when my truck runs 265's?

Thanks!

You should be alright if you have open differentials - but if you'd have limited slip or lockers they might act a little goofy. Other than that for a short use it should be fine.
