Unless you're tracking it, you'll be fine, lol.
The size recommendation is only if you're running dedicated winter tires...

Skinnies have more grip on ice, too, not just for cutting through the snow. Ground pressure is more effective for ice grip than a couple more tread blocks.

Dry pavement is where the wider tires provide more grip.
