Thanks all. Think I will see if I can get some of that flexible superglue just to fill the holes. I've not ridden that bike for a couple of days now, but the tyres have stayed up.
Suggest superglueing the carcass, and then putting a puncture repair patch (or even a tyre boot) on the inside.
Flexible superglue should do the trick ...
I have wondered similarly about tubed tires. I get a flat. I take out the piece of glass, patch the tube, put it back on the wheel, but I am still left with a hole in my tyre. I have not heard of a product that can be used to close or fill in the whole in the tyre after a puncture. I may try some liquid rubber glue that I bought to see if I could make cleats last longer (it was useless at that). https://goo.gl/L0c3Pj no affiliation. Shoe Goo is another idea.
This only matters if the hole is big enough to let the inner tube bulge through. If it does not, forget about it. Normal wear and tear.
If the tyres are holding air at the requisite pressure, just keep riding.
neoprene repair should work to patch a cut too if you want to seal em a bit.
I patched a larger hole with the string type kit. No probs since.
