Unfortunately, I don't believe anyone but the Chinese make an innertube for the nosewheel. There may be a few different (non aviation) tires, but no alternative for the innertube.
BTW, I have found running the nose tire at 30 psi will greatly help with the flat tire syndrome due to innertube spalling along the widest part. I add air maybe every 6 months, and I've never had a nosewheel which slowly lost air (several that lost it in a couple seconds, but no slow leakers).
IMHO, a mandatory spare or two should be in the plane, since you will not find one in most places.
