The PIK has the same type of wheel. Installing a new (6-ply Tost) tyre
just needs strong fingers, lubrication (glycerine is good) and a lot of
perseverance.
A number of gliders in SA are wearing 200 x 50 wheels purchased from
materials handling shops. These are robust plastic with bearings and
grey tires as used on wheel chairs/hospital equipment. They seem to be
successful and for ~$35, you wouldn't bother replacing the tyre,
although you can.
FWIW & YMMV
