Well, to get (limp?) home maybe, but the problems of mixing tire sizes on a drive axel for any long period of time are known (increased diff wear) and the mix of bias/crossply and radials can cause handling problems.
I experienced this in the worst ever car for it, a Tatra 603, starting with terrible rear weight bias on top of a mix of fine Eastern European bias and radial tires!
An old tire would make cool wall art. I assume an ancient Bridgestone? I had a 380mm Michelin XAs for a few years as a display tire...
