A suggestion.

Find the aircraft spruce part number from their online catalogue.

Go to the LAS web site and search for that part number.

LAS are agents for Aircraft Spruce and have regular shipments.

And assuming Aircraft Spruce have what you want then Parts for Aircraft in Lisburn are also agents for Aircraft Spruce, they may be close to reduce transport costs.

I may have the same problem fairly soon, what tyres did you start with please?
Why are they buffed off anyway? The Eurofox has tyres with treads (smaller though).
