Just one week later.
On a recent 200k brevet my Hutchinson fusion 3 tubeless rear tire blewout on the tread. The tire was 2 yrs old, and had 4000k on it. I was able to finish the Brevet by using a boot cut from a fruit juice carton (Tetrapak) with 70-80 psi. In my opinion the Park tool boot is too soft to use on a tread hole. At the end of the brevet it looked like the repair would last much longer. Sometimes you get lucky.
In my experience tread hole are rare compared to side cut or slits.
