I struggled to find suitable tyres so ended up making my own.
I used some rubber strip of the correct thickness, cut a long enough length and then cut it to the correct width. I secured one end with superglue and then secured it at intervals as I stretched it around the wheel. I used more glue at the join and then sanded it down to make it smooth.
I've been really pleased with the results - it looks very much like the original and the turtle is very accurate.
