  "lead": "Exeter is a hilly cathedral city where the M5 ends and the A30 and A38 carry traffic on into Cornwall and the rest of Devon. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Heavitree or Pennsylvania or at work, or choose a garage, and know your price first.",
  "driving": [
    "Exeter sits on a ridge above the River Exe, and a lot of its streets are steep. Pennsylvania Road, Stoke Hill and the climbs out of St Thomas are hard on front tyres, especially in a damp south west winter when the roads rarely dry out properly.",
    "The M5 finishes on the edge of the city and feeds into the A30 and the A38, so in summer Exeter sees huge volumes of holiday traffic heading for the coast and Cornwall. The Exe Bridges gyratory and the Countess Wear roundabout are notorious pinch points.",
    "Beyond the city, Devon lanes are narrow, high hedged and often muddy, with potholes, gravel and sharp stones. Dartmoor is a short drive west, and Exeter has no Clean Air Zone charge for drivers."
  ],
  "mobile": "Exeter's suburbs have plenty of drives and quiet roads, and the business parks at Sowton and Matford and the hospital and university sites have large car parks. Pick your place, add any access details, and the fitter arrives with the tyres, fits and balances them on the spot and leaves with the old ones.",
  "workshop": "Prefer to visit a garage? Workshops on the network around Exeter show their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop suits alignment work after a pothole on a Devon lane.",

  "team": "We love Exeter because it is small enough to walk across and big enough to have everything. A morning at the cathedral, lunch on the quay and an afternoon on Dartmoor or the beach are all possible in the same day. It is a relaxed city with a lot of people who drive long distances, and they deserve a tyre fitting that saves them time.",
