My neighbor just gave me a pair of 205-60-15 studded Goodyear snows mounted on 700/900 rims. I already have four 185-70-14 Pirelli "Winter-Performance" tires for my 245 - but was thinking using the studded tires on the rear would help on the icy hills of Ithaca, NY, this winter.

However, I'm a little leary about mixing different rim diameters (the tires are about the same OD), profiles and stud/studless. Appreciate hearing from the Board on whether this is a good idea or not.
