Radioshack discontinued the tire kits. You can look on ebay. I have seen people that cut the rubber grips off of certain pencils with pretty good success. Some of the really soft foam ones, I'd imagine, might offer some pretty decent grip.

I would recomend finding some pens then, with the rubber grips, and making your own.

One of the members on this site made some really cool "knobby" tires from some pen, pictures can be found towards the bottom of this thread:
