It was booted and the tube repaired but after a few years the tire started to tear out at the puncture site. The only way to repair it is to have the boot installed and then have it vulcanize. If you are going to put fluid back in fix it right the first time or pay twice to have it repired right. Bob [Reply]  [No Email]

IF I HAVE IT RIGHT? .... A "BOOT PATCH" FIXES THE HOLE IN THE TIRE AND A NEW OR REPAIRED INNER TUBE WILL HOLD THE AIR AND FLUID. I'LL TAKE IT TO MY REPAIR PLACE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS,POST RESULTS WHAT HAPPENED. THANKS AGAIN IT'S A STICK - SUMAC I THINK I THINK THE RED FLUID IN THE PIX CAME FROM THE MIX OF TIRE FLUID AND STICK JUICE. [Reply]  [No Email]

Repair included vulcanizing hole, large boot and new tube. Also required a new rim as the orig. rim collapsed when the tire was removed. With refill of fluid whole thing was a little over $400.00 Works like a charm. [Reply]  [No Email]

Yeah, a boot patch on the inside, I triple check any tube patches lately, I get small slow leaks, my lack of skill or the cheesy kit? But wow, a new tube is a bill nowdays, you got to try patching both. good luck! [Reply]  [No Email]
