Does anyone know if Michelin has the air stoppers tube for the nose wheel? Spruce has for mains but I don’t see the smaller size.

I don't think they are Michelin, but they have these ones.

Yea, get rid of the tube with either the Beringer on Grove tubeless wheels.

That’s sounds good but it’s pretty expensive route for the gain.

Unfortunately, all the 11:00x5 tubes are "not so good" (that's being polite). I used to change mine every year or two just to be safe, finally installed the Beringer and never looked back. If you ever have a flat away from home, you may regret not changing it to something better when you had the chance.
Recommend you keep it aired up to 40-50psi.
