schwalbe alone makes over 10 models that are appropriate for urban/hybrid riding. then you have other makers like bontrager, continental, and more after them as well. i'm not sure buying a tire at a CVS is the best idea anyways. better off keeping a spare in your garage if you really feel it necessary.
