    At the factory's suggestion, I ran about 55 psi in the mains and 45 in
the nose wheel.  The higher pressures make the plane much easier to push
around.  I had not a hint of nose wheel shimmy, and tire wear appeared to be
very low after about 80 hours and maybe 75 landings.  My nose wheel strut
did, however, have to be sent back to the factory for re-working, as it had
a very slow fluid leak and a slow nitrogen leak.  Whatever caused those also
contributed to some early shimmy problems, as I recall.
