I mounted a new nose wheel tire I bought from the factory a while back.

Its not round?  I have never had any vibration from my nose gear.  I flew 
to Vegas yesterday and when I landed I noticed a vibration as soon as my 
nose wheel touched down.  After getting to parking I looked the nose gear 
over real well, Nothing loose. Shimmy damper washers tight.  I lifted the 
gear off teh ground and spun it and what do you know, brand new tire and 
its out of round?

Anybody seen this before?

Scott B.  Can I call Natalie and have her send me a new one?  I'll gladly 
return the oval one..
