Default RE: 4 1/2" scale tires?

You know, I want scale 3-1/2 inch scale tires, my money says another guy here wants 2-5/8, and yet another guys wants....

Where are the scale airplane tires? We have RC car companies that seem to be able to deliver incredibly good looking functional tires to their customers all the time, in differing tire and rim styles, foam insert strengths and everything. Where are the HPI 6th to 20th scale setups for my 1/14th DC-3? Someone is going to be building a D-18 and want something similar.

Sorry for the rant, I have just been upset with this same question several times, its the little things that make the model great. Are there maybe some oldtimers that can explain a magic trick to making your own tires? This can't be impossible.
