Default Snow Tires Question

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was wondering if I can use 205/55/16 all the way around?? Coz on my brother's SLK, his factory size are 205/55/16 in the front and 225/50/16 for the back. Which is the same as the S2000 and in the winter the dealership told him to use 205/55/16 all the way around. And now since he sold his car, he give me his snow tires for free. Can I able to use them??

Thanks for your help in advance.

i run 205's on all corners (from my prelude)..no problems...you're not driving aggressively in the winter anyway.

dont' worry 205/55/16 will fit on the rear without any problems, I've been running this for the last 2 winters and it's perfectly fine...
