205/60/r16 on TCH????

Currently my 2009 TCH has 215/60/r16 tires. Will it hurt if I run 205/60/r16's for the winter?

Check this thread out:
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

According to the calculator, running the slightly narrower tires you're proposing is going to affect your speedometer by 1.8%....so if your speedometer shows 60 mph, you're actually driving 58.9 mph.

Besides that, I don't think it's enough to affect your ABS system but it might take a bit longer for the ABS/Traction control systems to kick in when they're needed.
