I just bought a pair of 180 cm. TNK's and I'm not sure where to mount em.  I currently have some public enemys center mounted but Im not going to be skiing on them anymore.  Do you guys suggest center mounting the TNK's or is that not a good choice... im open to any suggestions.

1.5 cm back is the sweet spot.  Do it, don't look back.

I think this is the only person to have tried more than one spot in this thread.  Every mounting thread is filled with people who mounted center and because the skis can go downhill they think center is best.  Mounting 2cm back isn't going to make it harder to land switch and it will be more stable and carve better either way.

billaybuam, are you a 7 year old retarded kid?

Dead center is what I did with my 175's. Perfect, wouldn't do anything else.
