yes you can center mount them.

personally, i wouldnt reccommend it, as most of their skis, if not all, are not symmetrical.

the price point park ski MIGHT be symmetrical, but i cant recall for some reason so double check to be safe.

i recommend going something like -2.5 to -3.5 back from true center, or even recommended, in order to get all the magne-traction has to offer.

if you are skiing mainly park, go -2.5cm back from true, i wouldnt go any closer unless they are symmetrical, in which case centering would be the only choice.

hope this helps!

the guy at my shop said to mount them at recomended, becaus the waves vary in size and get progressivley smaller at the tips and tails and not center would fuck them up

Go as close to recommended as you can.  I think messing with most skis reco. point is bad for where it puts you with the sidecut, but with LT it will only be worse.  People may enjoy them at center, but they can't compare them to reco., which LT has compared it to..

this isn't only for magnetraction skis; mounting outside of the sidecut center will mess with every skis performance...
