Is this going to be "bad" for my tires, in comparision to using the p195/55/15 tires? Can someone explain the REAL differences between the two sizes (pros and cons)? Thank you!!!

the 205-50 has a bigger contact patch with the gruond
the 205-50 also has a slightly shorter sidewall. i think about .3 inches.

That's cool I got mine for $360 that's with a discount though they would have been like $395.I'm about to go break them in. Did you have a problem with rubbing? I think I just need a camber kit because they were rubbing on the plastic in the fender well.So I trimmed it.

The MX's are nothing like the 712's.
They're a thousand times better.
Excellent wet weather handling as well.
I love these things.
and no, you don't notice the design at any distance or in non-direct sunlight.
