I have wheel barrel with a deflated tire and it is to the point that it

new tire, am I able to reseal the existing tire, or is my best option
to add a tube?

Much appreciated in advance

If you cinch a rope around the tire the long-way, and crank on it,
you can probably get the tire to seal well enough to take air.
I've always found that if I make sure the tire is fully
maybe a little over) inflated after that, it will hold air.

YMMV
