I much prefer a tube more properly sized. An overly large tube may get a fold in it when installed in a small tire. That's going to generate a weak area in the "fold line". You'll probably get away with it until you reuse the tube. Maybe a couple times??? It's probably more of a "piece of mind" issue.
