Doesnt 4frnt measure by material length, or actual length?  I just got my 180 cm TNKs and I measured them and they are 175 cms long, and 87.5 midsole.

what happens is that during our finishing line when they are being produced we do an edge grind and base grind which can take anywhere from .5 to 1 mm off each side.  thats why your skis are 1.5 mm narrower
