4FRNT TNK mounting question

Ive got a pair of tnks for next season and I was wondering; Their core center is a little behind true center. Would it screw me up to get them mounted true center? I would still have to be able to make decent turns because I have to go all over my mtn to get to the park and the only way to get back to the lift from one of the parks is by going down a black. thanks

I'm going to suggest posting in gear talk, or letting this thread be moved there by a mod

It is 100% personal preference.  I mounted my brothers 175's at -2cm from true center and he loves them

i have the same skis, make sure you get them mounted forward. i figured the center was the true center, but they are not truly center mounted.

Does it feel at all un natural? If I go skiing with my cousin he'll hurt himself on a jump and the rest of the day will be spent on mouguls and double blacks so I've gotta be able to turn. I would go with schizos but I heard they suck

I could do all that stuff. They were my only ski, so I was jumping off cliffs, riding the bumps, and turning the steeps. Just depends on how strong of a skier you are.

I live in nc so the only thing that messes with me is trying to ski down an ice wall. Thanks for the help. +k when I get on my desktop. The iPod app isn't that detailed

Yeah, they won't be a big deal on ice. I had my edges detuned, so it was kinda scary, but it's whatever.

i had a pair earlier this season and mounted them at true center, worked great, felt really good. poeple told me to mount them back from center cuz theyre not symmetrical but i did anyway and im glad i did.
Id definitely suggest doing the same.
