Default Making tires?

Hi there.

I´m working at a 1:3 scale BUSA Super Cub at the moment, which will have some of the typical "Alaska" mods, one of which being tundra tires. I have a pair of 200mm Air Top wheels on order, but today I had a look at the original Dubro Cub wheels. They are made form some sort of foam/rubber, and maybe it would be possible to make some tires myself if I could find out what product is used?
Making a negative plug for forming the tires is no problem, so it´s only a question of finding the right product for casting the tires. The Dubros are solid, but still rather light.

Anyone have a good suggestion?
