This morning we were doing touch and goes when on the "go" side the 
     nosewheel started shimmying.  I pulled power, let it settle, and then

     tried another takeoff.  No go this time either- another shimmy.  The 
     first landing we did today (and every landing since I bought the 
     plane) we didn't have *any* problems with shimmying.  
     
     The only thing I can think of is that the tire pressure was a little 
     high (though this is the first time this has happened even though we 
     put more pressure in a few flights ago.)  What is the recommended 
     pressure for this dual fork tire (what's the size of this btw- I 
     forgot to look.)
     
     Also, my instructor doesn't like the McCreary tire that's on there 
     (lets just say he's a *very* opinionated guy.)  The tire is looking a

     little used anyway so I was figuring on getting another here shortly 
     and keeping this one for a backup.  What is a good tire for the
price? 
     I saw that Michelin had their Condor 500X5X6 for $60 with free 
     shipping through Chief Aircraft.  Is this a good tire for the price?
     
     Thanks!
     
     Joa
