thanks
Yes, you can use a boot, but I would recommend ONLY as an emergency repair. That tire is toast my friend.

Blessed Jayus 10Wheels! Never seen something like that in a bike tire before. But if that is how you get your deck screws....ummm....you know you can pick 'em up at the hardware store right?
