None of the information you provided is relevant.

What DIN do you usually ride at?
Have you ever broken any bindings before?

What DIN do the Tyrolia's go to?

I'm not a fan of Tyolria myself, the low end ones anyway. I had some Elan 14's a few years ago (made by Tyrolia) and after about 50 days on them the toe would release vertically just by kicking my tails on the snow if I was standing in them. They were set at 14 by this point, and forward pressure was correct. They definitely helped me to avoid backseat landings though! The Elan rep said he'd had similar problems with his own ones. Not to bad mouth Tyrolia totally, this could have been a bad run, and they might have worked things out, but I'm avoiding them from now on. And the diagonal release heels get loose over time and you'll need to find a shop that carries parts.

im not a big fan either, i have the mojo 11's i think, but after using them last season ( im small and not very good) all of the plastic shit is really loose, and i had to up my din like 2 i think just to land switch on a 30 foot jump. they are light as fuck, but to me feel like htey are poor quality.

i'm pretty sure the td8's are a demo binding. i think i had these bindings on my old max_trix, and i had the same problem as BamBam. You're probably better off buying new bindings.

td8s are a few years old, from back when tyrolia's bindings were actually solid. functionally, its the same as an LD12, but not quite as light. its not a bad binding, basically the same as the mojo 15 with a lower din setting. to whoever had the mojo 11's, i can completely understand why you think they suck. they kind of do, at least for a park binding, since they're based off the SL100/110, which is designed to be the lightest adult binding on the market, and not by using titanium alloys like salomon's bindings either...
