I think Rubber can take thin layer of CA. But you can try traditional 'Quick Fix' or 'Bond Fix' to be safe. Slow Cure (standard) Araldite/Anabond should do as well.

CA will work great

Loctite is the Best. I use it for my tyres.
The thing worthy to note is that they have different varieties.
There is one number i think Loctite 203 which is a specific CA Glue for Rubber and Plastic.
It is costly. About 500 bucks for a small bottle of CA. But definately worth it.
I run 1:8 Buggies and have never faced problems of the tyre coming loose.

You can get it at an Industrial Hardware store.

Which one are you currently using? Can you please share the details of the Loctite?

I use proper CA glue meant for tyres by Duratrax from Tower. quickfix doesnt hold well. Get something that will be safe on the foams.
