rough up the mating surfaces (wheel and tire) with some sand paper.
Put a bead of hot melt glue around the wheel and let cool (without fitting tire)
When cool, fit tire and pop in oven at approx 100c for 6 mins.
Hot glue melts and tire beds into place.
when tires are knackered just put back in oven and then you can pull the tire off.
down side is if missus catches you putting things like that in the oven.
works for me.
(ovens vary. hot glue can be hurty. be careful)
edit. some Tamiya wheels will melt
