  "lead": "Bristol packs harbourside cobbles, a gorge road, steep Georgian hills and a Clean Air Zone into one compact city. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted on your street in Bedminster or Bishopston, or book a garage nearby, and know your price before you pay.",
  "driving": [
    "Bristol's hills are short but sharp. Park Street, Christmas Steps territory, Totterdown's terraces and the climb into Clifton all mean a lot of clutch, a lot of braking and plenty of hill starts. Front tyres take most of that load, so check their tread and shoulders more often than the rears.",
    "Around the Harbourside and the old docks, many streets are still cobbled, and the railway tracks of the old dock lines run across some of them. Both are slippery in the wet. The A4 Portway along the Avon Gorge is fast and exposed, and a sensible place to have tyres in good order.",
    "Bristol's Clean Air Zone is Class D, which means older private cars that do not meet the standards can be charged for driving in the central zone, as well as vans and taxis. If your car is not compliant, that alone is a good reason to have the work done where it is parked."
  ],
  "mobile": "Plenty of Bristol streets are narrow and lined with parked cars, so tell us where the car will be. A drive, a garage forecourt you have permission to use, or a work car park off the M32 corridor all work well. The fitter brings the tyres, does the fitting and balancing next to your car and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If the street outside will not work, pick a workshop on the network. Each shows its distance and its fitted price before you book, and a garage is the right choice for alignment after a hard knock on one of the city's potholes.",

  "team": "We love Bristol for its independence. It has its own currency history, its own street art legends and more cafes per terraced street than seems possible. It is a creative, slightly rebellious city that cares about how things are done, which is why we like to see fitters here doing a tidy job and leaving the street as they found it.",

    {
      "q": "Does the Bristol Clean Air Zone charge private cars?",
      "a": "Yes, it can. Bristol's zone is Class D, so older petrol and diesel cars that do not meet the standards are charged for driving in the central zone. Check your car on the official government checker."

    {
      "q": "Can a fitter work on a cobbled Harbourside street?",
      "a": "It depends on space and the surface. A fitter needs a stable, safe spot beside the car. If your street is cobbled or very narrow, mention it and the fitter can suggest an alternative."

    {
      "q": "Is it worth checking alignment after new tyres?",
      "a": "If your old tyres wore unevenly or the steering pulls, yes. Bristol's potholes and kerbs knock tracking out more often than people realise."
