This is exactly what I did. I went to a local bike shop and went back to their repair center and asked if they had any tires they are trashing. They looked in all of the trash cans they had been filling up that day and gave me about 6 different ones. I just took them all and at home there were 2 of them that were the perfect size. The other 4 were too thin so I trashed them. I wasn't going to tell them I would only take a specific kind since they were doing me a favor.Check at a local bike shop... They'll probably give you a flat/leaky tube that would be thrown away.
And having 2 tires will last me my lifetime. I've probably used like 5% of one lol.
