Default Solid rubber street tires?

I got a Lighting EPXPro about a month ago and love the thing, but the tire life is just awful. On a mix of concrete and asphalt, the tires are bald after one battery and blow up on the 3rd or 4th battery. I got some drift tires and some PVC "tires," but the car handles like an overpowered skateboard(and they still don't really last all that long). It's a lot more fun to drive with the rubber tires, but Ican't justify $15+ per hour with the car.

So.. I'm looking for one of 2 things. A wheel/rubber tire combo (I really hate gluing) that's dirt cheap (as in $5 or less) or a solid rubber tire. Anyone have a source?
