Overview

When should you carry Park Tool Emergency Tire Boots?

Park Tool Emergency Tire Boots are a trail-side and roadside lifesaver for riders who find themselves with a sidewall cut or gash that a tube alone can't hold. Constructed from a durable, flexible material, they install inside the tire casing to bridge the damaged section and create a stable backing that lets a fresh tube hold pressure long enough to finish the ride or get home safely.

Compact and lightweight, these tire boots take up almost no space in a jersey pocket, saddle bag, or pack, making them one of the highest-value items in any repair kit. No tools required: peel, stick, and ride. Keep a few on hand because sidewall damage has a way of showing up at the worst possible time.

Are tire boots a permanent fix?

No. Tire boots are an emergency solution to get you home or to a shop. Replace the tire once you have a sidewall cut or gash, as the structural integrity of the casing is compromised.

Do these work with tubeless tires?

Park Tool Emergency Tire Boots are designed for clincher setups used with an inner tube. For tubeless repairs, a tubeless plug kit is the appropriate solution.

Can I reuse a tire boot?

No. These are single-use emergency boots. Once installed, they should remain in place until the damaged tire is replaced.
