Holiday emergency tyre question!!!

[Daveluck]

Evening all, been a while since I posted.

On my holiday and the brand new front tyre has popped. It's a 195. My spare is a 205. Allegedly the difference between is such that they are considered equivalent by the Spanish authorities.

So I reckon its a 2% ish difference. The spare being larger.

My question...am I alright to drive be home with it?? Circa 600 miles, or should I swap it over for one of the rears? Ideally I would get new / related but logistics and me wanting to wait means I might not get one tomorrow.

This is for a fwd Berlingo...the rover had departed.

Off for a spot of tea now.

I'd do the swap with the rear like you mentioned, it's always better to have them equal on the steering end, a sudden change in road surface or rain could easily make the car unstable at any given speed. Good luck.
