Id like to know what other people are running or what others have experienced. Just bought a Ski-doo 03 600 Zx. 144 woodys with them outside the track windows. Heard this can affect cornering. They are practically new so Im gonna feal the bite. Prescision skis, how many IN. carbide? 4 inside 6 outside???? Let me know:thumbsup::busted:
SOME REPLIES WOULD BE NICE...

Well, I always used to run 10" bars with 144 studs but that was on Polaris skis typically. So not sure about the dual runner skis. The studs in the outside belt will help with the rear end getting loose in corners and some in accel/decel but not as much on that as the ones in the center.

General rule of thumb

96 = 6" or more
120 = 8" or more
and 144+ = 10"

Its a major rookie question but i dont wanna end up short on carbide and pushing through every turn. Also dont wanna rip arms off. Im thinking 8s on both inner and outta bars of the skis should be fine...thanks
hoping for someone in a similar situation

That should be sufficient, even 6 on the inside and 8 on the outside I would think would be plenty. But yeah, I'd rather have too much up front than not enough.
