No worries. So it's your tube that's split, and not your actual tire? If it's your tire that's split, then you should replace it. But yeah, if it's just your tube, then just replace your tube (or patch it if you want to if it's just a pinhole). Make sure to check the inside of your tire though to see if there's any debris or a thorn causing your tube to puncture before placing the new tube in. No, not all tubes are the same, such as if you want a latex tube or a lighter weight tube (they cost more), but a regular tube will be fine, such as one from MEC. Just make sure to get the correct size tube and correct type valve, most likely presta in your case.
