  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Cambridge fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size, see the fitted price first, then book.",
  "lead": "Cambridge is the flattest of cities, with more bikes than cars in its centre and some of the busiest bus gates in the country. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted on your drive in Chesterton or Trumpington or at work on a science park, or choose a garage nearby, and see the price before you pay.",
  "driving": [
    "Cambridge is built for bikes. The centre is laced with cycle lanes and bus gates, and driving through it is slow and best avoided, which makes a tyre fitting at home or at work the obvious choice. On the radial roads, Hills Road, Newmarket Road, Histon Road and Madingley Road, there are cyclists on almost every journey, so short stopping distances matter.",
    "The A14 north of the city and the M11 to the west are among the busiest roads in the east of England, and many local cars commute out to the business parks, the Biomedical Campus or along the M11 towards London. Motorway and dual carriageway miles wear tyres evenly but steadily.",
    "Beyond the city the Fens are flat, open and exposed, with long straight drove roads, deep drainage ditches and crosswinds. There is no Clean Air Zone charge in Cambridge."
  ],
  "mobile": "Cambridge has a huge number of science parks, colleges and business campuses, and most of them have car parks where a fitter can work with permission. At home, many houses in Chesterton, Cherry Hinton and Trumpington have drives. Book your slot, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them by the car and takes the old set away.",
  "workshop": "Would you rather take the car in? Workshops on the network around Cambridge list their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop suits alignment and any job that needs a ramp.",

  "team": "We love Cambridge because it is a small city that thinks big. It is where the structure of DNA was described and where world-changing technology companies started in garages and labs. It is also a city of cyclists and early mornings, and the last thing anyone here wants is to drive a car across town to a tyre centre.",

    {
      "q": "Can tyres be fitted at a science park or college?",

    {
      "q": "Why is short braking distance so important here?",
      "a": "Cambridge has more cyclists than almost anywhere in Britain, and they share most roads with cars. Good tread and correct pressures help you stop shorter, especially in the wet."
