Solved a main gear shimmy problem a few years back by following a suggestion to switch to a roundish profile tire vs flatter profiles. Had previously run Monsters and Goodyear IIIs and had significant shimmy. Have run 2 sets of Goodyear FS IIs and no shimmy. HOWEVER, I don't get any longevity out of the IIs as our home base is a concrete runway. Are there any other round profile tires that might wear better? Would the FS IIs in 10 ply, instead of 6 provide better wear? Thx
