best carbides to use with pilot 6.9

[NH_Nytro]

I am hoping to get some opinions on which carbides will give me the best performance, I have Pilot 6.9 and am looking for a runner that will be good on sometimes icey corners but give me good overall bite and little to no darting, I currently only have the center runner holes but could drill the outer ones. I have been looking at shaper bars, double downs and bergstroms am hoping not to have to buy another set of skis this year just runners.

I've heard great things about snowtrackers (either semi-aggressive or aggressive)

I ran 6" shapers in the middle and 4" shapers on the outside when I had my xtx nytro. Liked them better then the curves.

Be careful of snowtrackers I have read a lot of reviews saying they can be dangerous. Just google them and check out some of what guys are saying.

I was thinking of drilling for the outside and installing shaper bars center and moving my woodys to the outer slots.

That's exactly what I did when I had pilots on my nytro. 6 inch shaper and 4 inch woodys.

And when you google take note of how many are "I heard" vice "I experienced"....

X2. I used one shaper bar on the left side and ran a slim Jim on the right side. Used the others in the same way on the rev. Kept the life span longer for those expensive slim Kim's when having to run roadside, etc. on the outside I used 4" woodys.

How did it work with that combo ?

I found it worked good for hardpack with minimal darting. The shaper bars work exactly as they say they do. I got rid of the skis though because I found they pushed really bad in powder. It was like the skis float too good on trail and didn't dig in when going around corners with loose snow. This wasn't the carbides fault but was the shape of the bottom of the ski. I almost ended in the trees a couple times so I got rid of them.
