I'm not really following you on exactly what ratio you're refering to... but...

If you replaced the fronts with the same size as what they had, and didn't go with some exotic or super low profile radial, then I would not worry about it. No matter what tire you buy, whether it be bias or radial, it's going to have a different profile and rolling radius from the tires you replaced unless it was the same tire. You can look at 3 or 4 different brands or profile radials, and no 2 will have the exact same rolling radius for a given size. Given that the radials will squat with the proper inflation, they should match pretty well with the worn bias tires you have on the rear. So long as the front's turn a bit faster than the rears, everything should be fine. I really would not worry about it. Just enjoy the improved pull and better wear from the radial. Good luck.
