Used to have line honey Badgers 92mm but edges ripped out after 3 months, now got solomon tnt's which come in at 85mm width. I had solomon warden 13s on honey badgers but recommeded size for tnts is warden 11. will the warden 13's still be ok on the tnt's?

You're mixing 2 different things:
1. warden 11 vs warden 13: 11 is lighter binding for kids / non-hardcore skiers while 13 is more durable. 11 and 13 are the max DIN settings of the bindings. TNT is kids ski so they recommend warden 11 which should be okay for the kids that buy them. all in all, warden 13 is better
2. brake width: your last skis were 92mm underfoot and new ones are 85mm. There could be different brake width for them but this should not be a big deal as the difference is only 7mm. I have skis that are 102mm underfoot. and the brakes I have are 115mm, never had any issues so neither would you.

hope this helped!

You shouldn't have any issues putting the wardens on the TNTs

this is exactly right

it's good that you have the warden 13s; those are higher quality bindings than the warden 11s

what you need to pay attention to regarding bindings fitting your new skis is the brake size (often written as a number following B, for instance B85 means the binding has brakes that are 85mm wide)

so you should check what the brake size is on your wardens, but it's almost certainly a size that would fit your new skis since they are only 7 mm different. there's a chance your bindings have 100mm brakes on them, if whoever bought them thought they needed the 100s to fit 92mm waist skis (which you don't), but it's more likely your bindings have 90mm brakes with will be fine

so it's sounding like you're all set! measure the bindings brake size and tell us if you want to be sure, or take them to a shop, but it's likely you're all set
