yeah, no problem, well, to a point anyway. I run 1.9/2.1 XC tubes in 2.7" tires for downhill, and they are fine, and lighter. nokians are pretty thick, so should have enough rubber to expand safely.
I run these tubes in a Panaracer fire 2.1 rear and 2.4 (nearly 2.6!) front, it is better not to run too small a tube in a big tyre - they will snakebite easier. The Nokian tubes are rated 2.3-3.0! but will fit smaller tyres too, who would run bigger than 3.0 anyway!!!
