Hello folks!

It’s time to change the rear tires ( front ones are still good for a year I suppose) since they tend to become dangerous now. Here is my question:
I have a friend of mine who has a spare of used tires 245/40/17 and I was wondering maybe I can switch to them for like a year until all 4 tires need replacing. Since I want to buy a 4 set of Michelin Pilot sport 2 maybe I can use the used tires for a bit ?

The problem is that the Boxster is supposed to wear 255/40/17 and not 245/40/17. You think I’ll have an issue if I use the later one?

Thanks
