Thats what I have been doing on my comutacar and the previous owners as well.
I will say that if you are willing to bounce and possibly get better FE go to wallyland or to fleet farm and get some 4.80x12's or 5.20x12's from the trailer section as they are pretty cheap and very bouncy.
Now a real stumper, where the heck do I get 4.8x10's for my Subaru 360? I also need a rim and tube for a spare.
