Drew;

        If you had a 14" and a 15" tire on the back there might be a
problem. I am speaking theoretically of course. It would seem to me that
this combination would cause the differential to work a lot harder than
it has to because one tire is turning faster that the other.  How much
damage this would inflict is uncertain. It would certainly heat up the
oil in the diff. This  is especially true if you are driving a syncro, a
major no-no!
