My Mooney training taught us to fly slower when we were below max = gross=20 weight.  I should be able to fly my ES at 70 down final with half = a tank=20 of fuel and two people on board.  I would think some of the nose = strut=20 problems, shimmy to be specific, might go away if we slow down.  = If my=20 early pilot training memory is correct, a 10% reduction in approach = speed is a=20 20% reduction in energy.  It's gotta be easier on the gear, = brakes,=20 etc.
