You still haven't stated what terrain you'll be using them on. In 24" your choices will be very limited.

If you have actually ripped the tyre then you need something tough.
About the toughest is Schwalbe Marathon Plus, but they are not available in a 24" MTB version.
There is a Marathon Plus 24" with a shallow tread, good for cycle tracks and gravel, but not so clever for deep mud and rocky trails.
Schwalbe do make their Rocket Ron MTB tyre in 24".
Most of the versions have good puncture and wear ratings, but you might want to avoid the Liteskin one.
You will probably have to order the tyre and wait for it because 24" is not a popular size.

No, any tyre of the correct size will fit.
The tyres you have are probably original equipment, so it may be you couldn't buy a pair retail even if you wanted to.

If you are still unsure, it might be better if you engage the services of your local bike shop.
It may be simpler to do that anyway, because 24" is not a popular size so may not be stocked by the big online discount retailers.

That's Edinburgh, give or take.
Most of the big chains are there - Evans, Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op, etc.
Your request is not so mainstream, so a good independent might be better.
A quick google gives Biketrax, which I think I've heard of although have no direct experience of them.

No worries.
Worth keeping an eye on your thread because someone local to the area might come along with a personal recommendation.
