Default Tire question for oem rims

So I got a flat on the rear tire on my Blizzaks yesterday. They were 225 all around. I have a base so I'm not worried about the vdc. Anyway long story short I have my oem potenzas in storage. The rears are in ok condition but the fronts look brand new.

So here's the idea. Use my blizzaks on front. Put the spare 225 potenzas on the back. This is the cheapest alternitive, and my car is a dd. I'm buying rims soon so I'm just trying to get by until I get rimmed up as you all say. So my question...

Will this cause any problems I'm not foreseeing?

NO VDC. No TCS. No problem.

Dynamic control and traction control are cool, but can be a headache selecting tires. You are free to do as you please.

Mixing a summer only tire with a dedicated snow is a pretty bad idea. Handling will be way off and if it gets cold again you'll lose the dry/wet traction ability of the rear 050's.
