I don't see why not. Smaller wheel, higher profile tyre. Won't look as good though. Why are you changing them?

Thanks - Lost of driving done on secondary and country roads so I'd hope that a higher tyre will give better shock absorption.

Are the tyres on it the correct size? Would have thought they'd have a higher profile than that.
