  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Bath fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare mid-range and premium brands, see the price first, then book across BA1 and BA2.",
  "lead": "Bath is a city of hills, honey-coloured stone and streets laid out long before anyone imagined a car. That is lovely to live in and hard on tyres. Compare tyres for your car, choose mobile fitting on your own street or a workshop visit, and know the price before you pay.",
  "driving": [
    "Few UK cities ask more of a set of tyres than Bath. Lansdown, Widcombe Hill, Bathwick Hill and the climb up to Combe Down mean a lot of hard braking on the way down and a lot of torque on the way up, which wears the front pair faster than most drivers expect. If your car lives on one of the slopes, check the front tread more often than the back.",
    "The Georgian centre has high kerbs, tight turns and on-street parking in residents' zones almost everywhere. Kerbing a wheel on a narrow terrace is one of the most common causes of sidewall damage we see. A bulge or a cut in the sidewall cannot be repaired, so it is worth a look after any hard knock.",
    "Bath runs a Class C Clean Air Zone in the centre. Private cars are not charged, but older vans and taxis can be, which matters if you run a small business vehicle in the city. Park and ride sites at Lansdown, Newbridge and Odd Down take a lot of visitor traffic off the centre."
  ],
  "mobile": "Mobile fitting suits Bath well, because getting a car to a garage and back through the centre can take most of a morning. A mobile fitter brings the tyres, fits and balances them at the kerb and takes the old ones away. Tell us at booking if you park in a residents' zone or on a steep street, so the fitter can plan where to work safely.",
  "workshop": "Prefer a workshop? Garages on the network around Bath show their distance from you before you book, along with the fitted price. A workshop visit is the better choice for jobs that need a ramp, such as wheel alignment after a run-in with a kerb.",

  "team": "We love Bath because it rewards slowing down. The best version of the city is a Sunday morning walk along the canal towpath to Bathampton, a coffee on the Abbey churchyard and a look up at the crescents. It is also why we are keen on mobile fitting here: nobody who lives in Bath wants to lose a morning to the one-way system.",
  "faqs": [
    {
      "q": "Can a mobile fitter work on a steep street in Bath?",
      "a": "Usually, yes. A fitter needs a reasonably level, safe spot beside the car. If your street is very steep, add a note at booking and the fitter can use a flatter spot nearby or suggest a workshop instead."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the Bath Clean Air Zone affect getting tyres fitted?",
      "a": "Not for private cars, which are not charged in Bath's Class C zone. Any charge on a fitter's van is the fitter's own cost, and the price you see at checkout is the price you pay."
    },
    {
      "q": "My tyre hit a kerb in town. Can it be repaired?",
      "a": "A puncture in the central tread can often be repaired. Damage to the sidewall, such as a bulge or a cut, cannot, and the tyre should be replaced. If in doubt, book a check rather than drive on it."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which postcodes does this page cover?",
      "a": "Bath is covered by the BA1 and BA2 districts, from Lansdown and Weston in the north to Odd Down and Combe Down in the south. Enter your full postcode to see exactly who reaches your address."
