  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Bournemouth fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size and see the fitted price before you book.",
  "lead": "Bournemouth is seven miles of sandy beach backed by cliffs, chines and pine-lined avenues, and in summer it is one of the busiest resorts in the country. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Southbourne or Winton or at work, or choose a garage, and know the price before you pay.",
  "driving": [
    "The Wessex Way, the A338, is the main road into the town from the A31 and Ringwood, and on a hot summer weekend it can queue for miles as visitors head for the beach. Locals tend to plan around it, which is one reason mobile fitting suits Bournemouth.",
    "The town drops steeply down to the seafront through the chines, narrow wooded valleys with winding roads, and the cliff top roads at Boscombe and Southbourne are exposed to salty sea air. Salt is hard on wheel rims and valves, so a slow pressure loss here is often a corroded valve rather than a puncture.",
    "Bournemouth has no Clean Air Zone charge. Head west and the Sandbanks chain ferry takes you to the Purbeck coast, while the New Forest begins a few miles to the north east, where ponies and cattle roam the unfenced roads."
  ],
  "mobile": "Most homes in Bournemouth's suburbs have drives or quiet avenues, ideal for a mobile fitting. Flats near the seafront often have residents' car parks too. Choose your spot, mention any access details, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them by the car and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If you would rather visit a garage, workshops on the network around Bournemouth list their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop suits alignment and any job needing a ramp.",

  "team": "We love Bournemouth because it feels like a holiday even on a Tuesday. You can surf at Boscombe before work, walk the cliffs at lunch and eat on the beach in the evening. It is also a place where the traffic can be brutal in August, so we are keen to bring the fitting to the driveway instead.",

    {
      "q": "Why do my tyres lose pressure slowly by the sea?",
      "a": "Salt air can corrode wheel rims and valves, which lets air escape slowly. Ask the fitter to check the valves and the rim seal when you change tyres."
