What is the core center mounting chart that k2 is talking about for their PEs? Also, how close to center is the 'suggested' mountain spot, and how does mounting them closer to center, or even at center affect their ride. Finally, should I mount them cloer to center if I ride about 60% park 40% all mtn or no?

i ride the PEs and i have riden them at the original spot and at center. i definately think that the closer to the center you go the better. right now i have my 169s mounted at +6 and i love it.

Im thinking of mounting them about +3cm, will this affect the ride any, or will it still keep the same stability going forwards, while just providing more tail and balance in the park?

Most skis these days are suggested about 2.5' back of true center. The Pe's most forward suggested mounting point is still over 2.5' back of center. That being said, and having ridden a friends mounted at the center suggested point, mount them 2.5' back of true center or all the way to the forward suggested mark at least.

no matter what and how you ride, everyone should go at least +4cm!
