If you ski more than 50% park then go centre. AR6 ski really well at true, the pair I demoed were centred and they skied great. Sth12/14s depending on your weight.

then i guess I would go at true centre. They still ski all mountain really well. Just wont be as good in pow. I kinda like my centred volkl walls in pow last year so.. wont be a big problem. I like centred skis but generally ride symmetrical. A lot of people do centre mount their AR6s. They still ski really well all mountain. Centre mount takes some getting used to thats all.

I ski east coast so I won't be riding much pow anyway. But isn't it bad to center mount a non symmetrical ski?

I got the AR6 181 with Salomon STH 14's... centered. But park is a priority for me. Soo if your looking for all mountain set them back a little.

i have stl 12 and center mount at 181 your only 130 12s will be grea...
and wount em center cuz there bad ass riding switch at center cuz you ahead of the side cut so switch riding makes it like normal... if you plan on riding any park go center plus if you launch a head wall at a east coast mountain and land flat thos longer tails will keep you from falling back and spins is way easier

i got em mounted center. they shred the whole mountain and with center you can still kill it in the park.  since your lighter you don't need a huge binding, go with a 12 or MAX 14 din to save your knees and some binding weight.
