Actually, lower pressure in the nose tire is helpful
up to a certain point.  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.
