Won't hurt anything. Turn off the OD if you're towing, hauling or climbing a steep grade. All 4 tires should be the same size (diameter) Are you driving in slippery conditions? If not, you should disengage the 4X4.

Sorry, I'm a California kid. I know that the 4 wheel drive system will bind and slow the whole works down when you corner because there is no differential action between the front and rear drivelines. Everything wants to turn at the same speed and can't when you corner.
