Also forgot to mention there is a thing called tire soap that is cheap. It has the consistency of grease but is soap. It is meant to be diluted with water but if you use without diluting it:
You set the center of the rip up off the ground, get the back bead squished and down so only the front bead needs to be set. Then put the soap all around the rim to seal the gap between the tire and rim.
Slowly fill up the tire from the valve stem, and let the soap work. Sometimes you have to add more soap where the air leaks at.
The slower you put air in it, the better chance you have of the bead pushing all the soap up and then you can scoop it off. You don't want it inside the tire.
I just did 6 tires this weekend this way instead of the ether method as they were for a friend. I didn't want to ruin some new tires. I picked the soap up at Gemplers.
