I've only once needed to buy a tyre in a hurry- having just skidded straight through it.
I'd actually got a spare at home to fit when the one on the bike died, but it happened when I was out and about.
In general a tyre purchase is something that doesn't need to happen that very second, so I think citing availability in a local shop is not that credible.
