Different Ratio Size Front/Back ?

Any major problems with running different size tires front and back with my winter tires. I have 205/55/16 on the front and 205/50/16 on the rear. Should I expect any problems, can I run them for a winter or is this a must switch?

Thanks

Your tire rotation computer nannie won't like it one bit but it won't 'hurt' anything. The rear member is just getting dragged around by the front anyway.

ok assuming they are comparable type tires. If you mix winter and all-season or something like that that's a different issue.
