I've dealt with this on three different RVs. If you PUT THE LEG STIFFENERS ON you won't have a problem. Mine doesn't shimmy a bit no matter what my tire pressure or wear is and it was terrible before. These are not a big deal to put on, you can do it in a couple of hours. Don

Default Thanks for the responses

I'm going to lower the tire pressure and go from there. I'll get back with the (hopefully positive) results..

As I have explained on many occassions, if you lower your tire pressures you create a scrubbing action that pulls the round gearlegs aft while landing or taxiing. This is OK but you will be replacing tires in less than 100 hours and increasing the risk of heat failure. Read Van's instructions that came with the kit.
