Gene Martin.  I keep a lower pressure in the nose tire, about 40 psi +/-.  I 
was told early on that a lower pressure would help reduce the chance of nose 
tire shimmy.  But there is a fine line there also.  I landed with a flat 
nose tire several years ago.  Again, there was a tiny hole in the tube 
sidewall caused by underinflation.  At that time I was keeping 30 to 35 psi 
in the nose tire.
