Just changed out the stock tires for Desser Monsters 5.00-5 and Michelin Air Stop Tubes. Balanced at 40 PSI.
Much better taxi and Take-off / Landing roll than before.
Stock tires limited me to 35 PSI or shimmy ensued. Now at 40 PSI and no hint of shimmy, the airplane will actually taxi at 900 RPM. That's significantly better than the 1200 RPM required previously.
From now on, its Desser & Air Stop for "My Beebe."
