REFLECTOR: TIRE PRESSURES

[Jim Sower]

I try to stay a little over inflated.  I had a nose wheel get low and at 
touchdown, the tire spun on the rim and sheared the valve stem off.  
Took a whole day to find a new tube that even *remotely* fit, and the 
tire was pretty banged up.
Mains can spin that way too ... Jim S.
