Abstract
An aircraft landing gear assembly includes a strut and tire arranged for load-bearing contact with an underlying surface. A weight transfer shoe interposed between the tire and support surface at touchdown and arranged to pivot to a clear position after touchdown cushions the impact between the tire and the support surface to extend the service life of the tire.
