A tire boot isn't supposed to stretch, and that is just what a piece of inner tube will do. Any building sites near you? Tyvek is a product used as a vapour barrier in new homes. It just so happens to be an ideal material for a tire boot. It is thin, very strong and will not stretch. Far better than a patch or a piece of inner tube
