It appears that the firmer the nose tire is on the runway the more susceptible it is to causing shimmy, if you have a tendency that way. We run about 28 lbs of pressure in the nose tire. What you are looking for is to have all of the tread on the asphalt (not rounded with some tread not on the pavement). We have 500 hours on a 235 and had the old style strut for some time and this seemed to work well.
