Concur. Virtually all turf runways are not as smooth as we'd like.
I follow your train of thought regarding the nose wheel and there is merit
to the idea. But, using the correct techniques - I believe you will not
have any problem with the 5.00x5 tire. And the change to 6.00x6 will be
laborious.
I added a "skid plate" to the leading edge of my nose wheel yoke to help
prevent the dig-in that has flipped several RVs. Details available if
you're interested.
