If they are inflatable, maybe a higher pressure in them will help keep them on? The RC car guys use a tire lock of some kind. But, medium CA should also work well. However, CA may be a permanent "fix", as debonder may not get inside the bond joint or may even melt the tires or craze the hubs? Good luck.

If it works on car rims which are plastic, it should be safe for Cub rims. Me, I just ca'ed them on, how long do you want to keep the stock rims anyway.

I am laughing as I right this, my flying buddy just had the same issue on his 1/3 scale Cub just last week. He e-mailed with his problem, a bead of thin C/A worked just fine. Make sure the area between the rim and the bead of the tire is clean, I use alcohol on both surfaces.

I have been at this a long time (over 20 years) and I agree with the CA “fix”. I also race 1/5 scale off road trucks with 30cc gas engines. Mine is 37 pounds and as you can imagine there are tremendous side loads when jumping and turning a truck of that size. The CA holds well. 
If you think you may want to reuse the wheels (rims) you can “dot” the CA around the wheel in 5 or 6 places but if you plan on keeping the wheel and tire together for the life of the assembly use a nice neat bead all around. Be neat with the CA as it will show if you get any on the visible part of the tire or wheel.
And as far as your landings go, try not to land sideways. It makes your passenger spill his coffee… Haha…
