A more obvious soloution to the dollar bill trick is to apply an inner tube patch to the inside of your tire. I've gotten several small tears in tires in the past few months and in addition to patching the tube, I've patched the inside of the tire. It will take a lot longer to wear/rip through a patch than a dollar bill.
