Default Russia 5M tire and tube?

If the tire on the 5m is the same as the 4c, then you can you use a 126 tire and tube from desser. The original tire is hard as a rock with zero pressure.

- exactly, the original tire feels hard even with zero pressure, that's why I learned to check it with a pressure gauge every couple of months. Despite the hassle, as (on the AC4a) I need to remove the wheel fairing, and add a valve extender, just to use the gauge. But the alternative is a ruined tube, or worse.
