Naw! I've been there!

If the front and rear tires are very nearly the same size and the 
differentials are the same ratio, you'll drive along just fine
wearing the living daylights out of your tires and getting s****y
mileage. But... When you get home and make that sharp turn into
the driveway, Watch Out! Luckily, the windup did not break anything
but I still don't know what kept me from going through the windshield.
