You could, but I wouldn't recommend it!

Vehicles always perform best with like tires and sizes.  Mixed sets, driving straight no major issues, but handling on turns will feel odd at best, and worse at greater speeds.  The problem really surfaces in tough conditions, like weather, speed or emergency maneuvers.

Thanks.
