Bob,
Thanks for the information.
Why use less plies for the nose gear?
Matt
That is what the aircraft designers determined to be correct and proper.  I
expect the main reason is that in a normal landing the first touch down is
on the main gear so you need a heavier tire.  The nose wheel does not have
to withstand as much abuse.
