Phil Harcourt <<< I'm with you Phil. I also run 55 to 60 lbs of nosewheel tire pressure and it works great. I once had a nosewheel collapse due to shimmy when the plane had 60 hours on it. Although it was one of the first 10 nosegears of the new type, and there was a modification that came out later, I was told by Lance Niebaur to increase nose tire pressure. I now have 600 hours on the plane with no problems running the higher tire pressures.
