REFLECTOR: SERG Nose Tire

[John Dibble]

I've used the shin ribbed tire for over 700 hours (on my second one 
now).  I sometimes have front loads around 350, once or twice with the 
nose down hard.  No problems except if I let the pressure get too low 
(20-25 lbs) - then the tube gets pinched and I have a flat by the time I 
taxi to the ramp.  Now I keep the pressure around 40.
