I think he mostly supplies instruments, but you could try GB Air Spares: Great British Aircraft Spares He might know of another source if he doesn't deal with these items himself.

You could try contacting Ken at the Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron. They operate two Vampires, so may have contacts for tyres.

On those lines there are a whole list of current operators who might have one they could spare. Some, such as Lebanon, may be more willing to sell than others.
