08 Nytro RTX
I have an 08 Nytro RTX and bought some ski doo pilot 5.7s for it. I ride all groomed trails. My question is what carbide set up should I run? I don't have any studs and it is a completely unmodified and non-updated nytro.
 

I run woodys 4 inch outside and 6" middle. Same sled, no studs as well. Worked good for me. Outside carbides last forever by the looks of them.
 
I ran the 4 inch slim jims woodies doolies in the middle and 4 inch on the outside works great for me
 
I run Begstrom Skeggs Triple-point carbides on both my sleds. Never have to worry about carbide for a long time and those suckers grip like no tomorrow and turns on pavement. Big plus in my book
 
I use shaper bars on my pilots as well 7.5" in the middle and 6" on the outside. I'm studded though also set the toe at 3/4" I have the spring pressure to be pretty aggressive as well but the sled handles awesome. very little darting but I know that is related to my setup i don't mind it cause when i go into a turn i want to know it is going to turn not push me into the rhubarb.
 
Thank you everyone. I'm leaning towards 6" down the middle and 4" on the outside. I will play with the toe and see what is best.
 
Woodys 6" in the middle and 4" on the outside also work for me. Like a different sled compared to stock skis
