It is universally true that all skiers new to PMTS do not tip to the level necessary and tipping is always everyone's first SMIM. Hence making tipping harder (with a wider ski) does nothing but slow one's progress. Good/advanced PMTS skiers regularly tip wider skis to high angles with no issue but this occurs after years of solidifying their tipping skills.
I know and I realize this but I have a price crunch right now, and these are perfectly placed and probably the best I can do. I've done ok on 78mm skis so I feel like I will survive 86. I'll just have to work harder and be more careful. Hence the only thing I'm really worried about is any knee strain.
