Anyone try these on their ride? I'm interested to know if they hold the line in the corners. I've tried the double 6" carbide setup and am not satisfied with the way they all of a sudden dart out sometimes.

I've been looking into them emailed snowtracker about them a the start of the season told me only 4" carbides were available at that time. They said reaction was good so far I have a few pictures from the email posted above. As I couldn't get 6" I kept with the double 6" square bars which I think work great for railing corners I do agree that there is some darting with that setup though. I run 58lb's in my floats up front perhaps you could play with your setup a bit or give these a shot and tell me all about it lol!

Put on over 1000 miles with different setups. In general they work desent. But I'm real fussy when it comes to handling. Don't get me wrong but on an XTX that sudden dart when you are in a high speed rail is not the most comfortable feeling in the world. Gone to a more aggressive ski for now but it steers harder. Whats the good about power steering if you can't make use of it.

What kinda ski did you try? I've been thinking about giving a c&a ski a go but my sled works pretty damn good now I'm afraid of messing with my formula!
Those look narly, ! .im always about trying different carbides! trail conditions change,my riding style dont !

If you have a good formula and are happy don't change it. These are the rest of the combos I've tried. The stock Yami ski with Snowtracker. They work good but found that there was too much give in the corners with the Power steering. Perhaps the 2010 Yami ski keel is not aggressive enough to hold the side force with no ski pressure added. Tried more ski pressure and they gave the sled too much body roll and machine wanted to tip over in a hard rail. Moved on to a set of USI Triple Threats with 9" shaper dualies. Good ski. Held the line well in the corners. Overall great in the big trails and good floatation witch the Tuner lacks. But since they are a very aggressive ski there it comes with a cost. There is increased steering effort in the tight and twisties. Feels like I lost 1/2 the power steering. Going to try different ski mounting positions before I move on to the C & A's. I'm lucky that I already have these skis to try because a quest for the perfect ski can be expensive. Stay tuned for the rest of the trials.

Hope I'm not hijacking but I am pretty particular about having good feedback from the front end in corners. I am running stock 2007 skis with I'm guessing 6" shaper bars. They do dart a little but it's not bad enough that I worry about it. Have you guys tried this setup? I am currently very happy with it. I can get pretty aggressive at times and I have good feel.
The front GYTR shocks are at full compression and 12clicks out on the rebound. I am running probably .25-50" preload on the front springs. Ski lift is very manageable. I found the secret was to go in on the compression on the front end. Less rebound helps to force that outside ski to the ground.

I'm just looking for input on these new Tuner Snowtracker carbides. I'll do a report of the other skis at the end of the season.

Is anyone using one snowtracker on the inside runner of each ski , and the stock 6" on the outside runner ?
If so how is it ?
Is this set up even feasible ?

Don't think it is feasible. They are different heights. Question stands.
Has anyone used the new Snowtracker with corrector for Tuner ski?

I have them on a 2015 xtx and really like them. No darting and for me great in corners.
Set the toe at zero for me.

Have you tried the regular 6 inch blades as well? What difference is there between them? What kind of ski pressure are you running with these? When I ran the dual 6" carbides with the square base I ran full ski pressure with the springs, no load on the front skid shock and they worked well but I would get sudden darting in a high speed sweepers. Couldn't hold the line well.

I have the 6 inch square , and are not real good .
I have the Star suspension set up , which calls for no preload on the ski springs , and high preload with a stiffer spring than stock on the middle shock , and soft on the rear springs , with the strap up one hole .
The ride is pretty good , and the steering should be great with these snow trackers .
I don't get any sudden darting .
My wheelies are real fun , but a little more than I want , and I should be able to lessen that .

Great. Thanks for the info. Tuner is a good ski. That sudden darting and floatation are my only complaints.
