Using a tire like that on the rear will greatly accelerate the wear on the differential.  Using it on the front will  make the handling interesting, at best.  That will be OK for a short distance, but be aware that it will eventually lead to trouble.  I don't know how long it will take, though.

If you can find a tire the correct height, you will be much better off...
