You'd need something layered on the outside of the cork or it'd only last a few km--cork is soft and crumbly. But leather can do this job.
You'll still be replacing the leather and cork a few times a year.
Something like Nexo tyres cast from natural rubber mixed with soot would actually do a pretty good job and probably last a year each.
