errrrrrrrrrr Will a 3.15 inner tube be alright with a 3.00 tyre?

just occured to me im about to take my mrs bike to have the front changed, without changing the inner tube (was gonna use the old one cos couldnt get one quickly and neither could the garage) but the front tyre is 3.15 currently, and the new ones is 3.00 (oem replacement)

Should be fine. Inner tubes are often listed to cover a small range for a single size tube. I once found a 4.50 tube stuffed into a 2.75 rear tyre. It was onlt discovered as the tyre would not seat properly Shocked .
