mixing and matching tires on a Quattro?

[Tessie McMillan]

Sorry I forgot to mention that it is an '88 80 Quattro. I assumed I had 
a Torsen differential. (What's Haldex?)

Another person on the digest did mention the diffs handle slight 
differences in radius differently (sorry for the alliteration), depending 
on whether the diffs lock the front and rear axles or not.

Do you have a different (sorry!) opinion now?
