I wouldn't daily drive on them, if that's what you mean. If you're just making the occasional trip out, then you shouldn't have a problem...just don't make it a daily habit.

If you ever had to make two hard stops in a row you would likely find yourself without brakes. The rotors simply don't have enough mass to absorb the energy from repeated stops. Occasional easy driving, no problem though.
