  "lead": "Edinburgh is a city of cobbled closes, steep hills and grand Georgian streets, wrapped by the City Bypass with the Forth bridges to the north. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Morningside or Leith or at work, or choose a local garage, and see your price first.",
  "driving": [
    "The Old Town is a ridge of steep, cobbled streets falling away from the Royal Mile, and roads like the Mound, Victoria Street and Leith Walk are hard work in the wet. Setts are slippery, especially with worn tyres, and the trams running from the airport to Newhaven add steel rails to the mix.",
    "Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone covers the city centre and applies to private cars as well as vans and buses, so a non-compliant car is fined for entering. The City Bypass, the A720, carries much of the traffic around the outside and is busy at every rush hour.",
    "Edinburgh is windy and often damp, with sea haar rolling in off the Forth. In August the festivals fill the centre with visitors, and driving into town is best avoided altogether. A fitter who comes to you sidesteps all of it."
  ],
  "mobile": "Many Edinburgh flats have no drive, so a residents' car park, a quiet side street or a work car park is usually the best place for a fitting. Controlled parking covers much of the city, so check the rules for your street. Tell us where the car will be, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If kerbside fitting does not suit your street, choose a workshop on the network around Edinburgh. Each shows its distance and its fitted price before you book.",

It is also a city where parking is precious, so we make it our job to find the right place for a fitting.",
