    You're best off buying a junker and using that for parts. Good luck

    the problem is all the junkers have the same problem...mine have the same issue and I think the majority of people on this board have had the same thing happen to their wheels...

    Only a junker Takara one would be worth pillaging.

    Is it possible, or recommended to just glue the entire tyre to the wheel - all the way around, so even if it keeps splitting, the bits won't fall off? Would the result look dodgy?

    Omega Supreme has this too. The rubber wheels harden and begin to split and break.

    I don't think you can but I guess that trying to keep the figure in a dry and cool environment away from sunlight will always help.
