will it still hold air? My 15 yr old spare went limp for probably a decade and got dirt inside the bead.

The big chain in California wouldn't fix it for liability reason (they don't make money on free repairs so they find any and every out if you aren't buying new rubber), but the other place down the street hooked me up and I just gave the tire guy a tip.
