MIG Gun tips

I just changed my MIG wire from .030 to .023 for doing some smaller stuff.

In the past, I have always used an oversized tip, as they seem never to bind
up or get fried shut.

Is this an okay thing to do?

I started doing this with my Millermatic 200 in the 80s. Running .045 tips
no matter what wire. Lots less binding.
