What did you search? Why do you need them sealed again?

Have you tried searching any other terms? Maybe using the advanced search option? And what type of rig will they be run on?

Depending on the size of the hole you may be able to patch it with some CA glue. But if it's bigger I don't know. Personally I'd leave them, any water will drain out anyway.

If you have a spare tire you can just use a hole punch to make a 3mm Plug.. then just glue in with some IC2000..

I'd cut a piece off of an old tire (larger than the hole) and glue it onto the hole from the inside of the tire. Simple and easy.

I used Shoo Goo. I wouldnt leave them be though. That junks your foams pretty quick. And makes them smell god awful. That may not be a big deal if you keep them in the garage but I keep mine in my man cave. I can't have 5-6 trucks in there with each tire smelling like an old wet sock.

+ 1 on the Shoo Goo. I did this and have had no leaks or problems. I have also used a combo of both Shoo Goo and electrical tape.
