I jacked a 4WD thread of the same ilk...sorry, so here's my own...
My set of snows 185/65/14 for my DD looked tired, 2 OK, 2 < then that. I got 2 very good new snow tires free. One each 185/65/14 and 195/60/14. I want to throw them on the front axle. The circumference difference is 1.1%. Is this a problem?

It won't cause any mechanical problems with an open diff, but it will make the handling wonky & unpredictable, and probably wear out your nice new snows unevenly. I think it may even be illegal in some areas. I wouldn't bother...
Well since you got them for free.....get off your wallet and the buy one more of each size, to have have a matching pair for the front & for the rear. That way the size difference will be insignificant.
