Automation Parts Help

I'm trying to find a small part that's basically a little foam rubber tire. It's 1" ID and about 1.5" OD. In the attached picture you'll see the roller on the right has one while the roller on the left doesn't. I tried making some out of pipe insulation, they didn't turn out very well. Any idea where I can buy some?

I think I saw one of these online somewhere for sale, I'll see if I can find it. Meanwhile you could try and see if https://www.automationstop.com/buy-allen-bradley has it somewhere in their stock or something close to it. Or you could try and find someone that could custom make it for you. I wouldn't try and reuse something that has wear and tear though, that's just something I consider as a last resort.

Have you looked at RC car tires?

Thanks for the help, but I don't work at that place anymore.
