Try buying tire tubes for bicycles, lawnmowers, etc. Most of them are
from China and they have to be filled monthly. The rubber, or what passes for
rubber must be very porous. I've given up on smaller wheels and used solid
tires when I could make them work.

I honestly think the current rubber (mostly from China) is made from black
soot and Elmer's glue. The boots on my (new) upper ball joints just
rotted
away in less than a year. This was in a closed garage with the car on
jackstands - and this was 10 years ago. On the other hand I have a
wheelbarrow that has sat outside for 30 years and the rubber tire is still
serviceable.
I replaced the motor mounts on my Studebaker a while back. The metal part
was about half as thick as the original.
