One different size tire on tandom axle

Had a blowout, bought new tire, also used the "new" spare in order to have two new tires, and found out the spare is a 15" tire and all the rest are 14". Is there any problem running a tire that is a little over an inch larger on a tandem axle travel trailer? The trailer weighs just under 5,000 pounds. Thanks

    My M/H had tires like that when I first got it. The smaller diameter tires made contact but scuffed enough along the road that they looked like a pair of slicks in a very short time. I wouldn't use them that way any longer than it takes to get to a tire shop and have it corrected.
