Having problems with nose wheel rubbing and shimmy at 40 kts. Dismantled and found similar rubbing marks with previous fork. Called Roger.

Terry, mine is severely out of round and very out of balance. Symptoms improved after static balance which required A Half Pound of weight! I plan to just finish running this tire then replace with an aircraft tire instead of the golf cart tire.

Seems to me that inflating at only 12psi would bulge out the sidewalls even more. Ours are all at 20psi with what appears to be plenty of clearance on the front fork. Of course, we have yet to fly her!

No, I had inflated to 20 PSI as recommended by Matco.
Zenith is sending me a narrower tire 190 mm instead of 201mm.
Even new Fork is just over 200 mm.
Thank you for the insight. Roger told me today that maybe I should only inflate to 12PSI.

Under inflated tire possibly?
