I decided not to tempt the unigods more than necessary and got a new tire as
soon as I could.

Tom Miller was understandably uninterested in dealing with an order of a
single tire. He’s just too busy to spend 45 minutes on a $12 sale. (I don’t
blame him one bit.)
I visited a few shops before I found a 24 x 1.75 tire that was suited for
pavement (rather than mountains), but when I did find one I paid ~US$10 for it.
I also got neat little pump about 8 inches long (AirMax Pocket) that I carry
around with me now. There’s still enough room in my hip pouch for a loud
bicycle horn.
