Default turnigy brushless rally, need tires

I picked up a turnigy rally RTR for cheap

As a high speed car it kinda sucks. It came with a 3s lipo so its fast. But if you turn to sharp it rolls over very easy. The shocks dont seem great and the tires seem kinda squared off (so I think the edge catches easy and rolls it over)

Anyway, I thought it would make a better drift car. But I cant seem to find drift tires for it.

Anyone know where I can get some?

take rim to hardware store.
put rim in PVC pipe till you find one that fits snug
buy pipe
cut pipe to fit
glue on rim
done.

I know I could do that. Would rather not ruin the street tires tho. Wanting a set for drift and for street.
I dont know if PVC might increase wheel diameter and rub the body as well.

I meant more get a 2nd set of rims with no tires, and fit it to those the should end up similar to the street or maybe a tad smaller diameter
