There were two different styles of tires the Bomb had. The early issue is basically a slick with a few lines in it , the later ones tread is more like a car tire. The later ones are pretty easy to come by as they are used on many of the Deal's cars ; you can usually pick up a junker pretty cheap on Ebay and use those.

I've filled those type of boo boo's with 2 part epoxy putty, shape with a damp finger before the epoxy sets and than carefully sand and file to blend in. As long as they are a plastic type material.
