You use the dollar bill as a tire boot. If the tire is so damaged that the tube bulges out of tire (and prevents proper inflation), then you use the dollar bill

You use the dollar bill as a tire boot. If the tire is so damaged that the tube bulges out of tire (and prevents proper inflation), then you use the dollar bill to reinforce the tire by shoving it between the damaged tire and the tube.
