I would recommend this only if the temperature will remain stable. I've seen a few disasters here in the desert where someone tried that trick in the morning, then when the afternoon heat kicked it, the brake fluid expanded and blew the seals on the calipers.
Even had it happen to my plane once when I mistakenly left the (hydraulic) parking brake on during a lunch stop.
