So I need inserts for my 2 rear buggy tires and wheels. The wheel is 1.9" tall. The tire is 3 and 1/4" tall. And the tire is 1 and 5/8" wide. Can anyone tell me what insert I need for this tire and wheel? I was hoping to buy it from amazon because I get free shipping and 1 or 2 day shipping. Here is where I was looking:

Here are a couple pics of the tire:

Please excuse my ignorance but I have no clue what would fit or not...

For what car? I would try to find some wheels n tires that fit your car and not worry about un-gluing those and putting foams in. Ever un-glued tires? Ever glued tires? It isn’t for everyone, it isn’t hard though.
 
I would try a open cell buggy foam for the rear tire. They will actually look bigger then the tire but they compress down. If you go on Amain and type in open cell foam, a few different options should pop up. If you live near a carpet track, go there. Ask someone if you could have a old set of rear buggy tires, carpet guys go through a lot of tires. Then cut them open and remove the foam insert.
