Vrroom front tire

My childhood Mattel X-15 Vrroom has returned to me and I’d like to get it repaired in time for my kids to ride it. The solid rubber front tire cracked and fell off. I doubt it is possible to find a replacement, but wonder if any of the knowledgeable folks here would have suggestions for finding or making a replacement?

Yeah, sorry about that.
The rim is 12” edge to edge, and the tire sidewall is 1-3/8”, so tire OD is 14-3/4”
The rim depth, or bead(?) is 3/8”, so tire ID is 11-1/4”

I should note that this isn’t the original tire. My dad found a guy somewhere in the Midwest that said he could make one to replace the original. I’m sorry I don’t have that contact.
