Michelin Airstop tube for 11 x 4.00 - 5 nosewheel?

[cmbanz]

Hello All,

My RV-7A is down for maintenance, and I thought I would replace all the tubes with Michelin Airstops. However, the nose tire size is 11 x 4.00 - 5. I don't see a tube this size in the Michelin catalog.

If anyone has a suggestion, I would be very grateful.

Cheers,
Mike

I don't think Micheline makes an 11x4-5 air stop tube...at least I couldn't find one either when I looked. I have had good service from the one Van's sells. It is not an "air stop" branded tube (which is probably a Micheline name/trademark), but it is described as "Tubes are synthetic rubber, less porous than the older natural rubber type." It seems to hold air just as well as the genuine air stop tubes I have on the mains.

If your girlfriend/wife is with you when you have a flat, you'll be paying a lot more to get it fixed, and then following up with marriage counseling
