Not optimum but not not disastrous either. Engineers build a safety factor
into the system. To put it another way, how often do people worry about
their differentials based on whether they drive on too many winding roads?

Mixed tire sizes on Quattro
Ok, I know that side-to-side it is VERY bad to mix tire sizes. But,
how doe sthe Quattro handle both fronts being %50 worn, while the
rears are new?
IE, how bad on the center dif is it?

If the difference in circumference is less than 1-1/2 inches, then it's OK,
provided the differnce is due to tire wear, and not because the tires are of
different types.
Somewhere i read that Audi says that differential tire wear is OK -- even
between a new tire and one worn down to the tread bars.
