Subject: REFLECTOR:Round Tire

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?

Before replacing the tire you may want to try different orientation in
assembly of the two halves of the wheel.  Mine had a wobble and some runout
until the second or third try putting the wheel together; and then it was
true and straight.
