I've been using fatty strippers for about a decade, but I don't think they would do ya any good here. They are about the thickness of a latex balloon - and you cut them off basically at the lip of the rim.
Isn't the cut/tear just where the tire meets the rim (and not under/below the lip of the rim?)
