I ran 60 pounds of pressure in the mains and in the nose tire for 1000
hours of flight time with absolutely no sign of shimmy - Go Figure!

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.
