  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Glasgow fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size and see the fitted price before you book, across the city.",
  "lead": "Glasgow is built on hills either side of the Clyde, with the M8 running straight through the middle of the city over the Kingston Bridge. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Shawlands or the West End or at work, or choose a local garage, and know your price first.",
  "driving": [
    "The M8 cuts through central Glasgow on elevated sections and over the Kingston Bridge, one of the busiest road bridges in Europe. Junctions come thick and fast, lanes split without much warning and the merges are short. It is hard on tyres and on nerves at rush hour.",
    "Glasgow's Low Emission Zone covers the city centre, and unlike most English clean air zones it applies to private cars: a non-compliant vehicle driving in is fined. If your car does not meet the standards, a fitting at home or at work outside the zone avoids the problem entirely.",
    "The city is hilly, built on drumlins, and streets in Garnethill, Park and Partick are steep and lined with tenements and parked cars. Add plenty of rain and you have a city where wet grip and good tread are what keep you safe."
  ],
  "mobile": "Much of Glasgow lives in tenements, so the best place for a mobile fitting is often a back court with vehicle access, a quiet side street or a work car park. Tell us where the car will be and how the fitter gets to it, and they will bring your tyres, fit and balance them and take the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If kerbside work is not practical, choose a workshop on the network around Glasgow. Each one shows its distance and its fitted price before you book, and a garage is the right place for alignment.",

  "team": "We love Glasgow because it is warm, funny and never boring. People will talk to you on the bus, the music scene is one of the best in the world and the architecture, from Mackintosh to the Victorian merchant city, is stunning. It is a city where a lot of people live in tenements without a drive, which is exactly why we work hard to find a good spot for every fitting.",
  "faqs": [
    {
      "q": "Does Glasgow's Low Emission Zone affect my car?",
      "a": "It can. The zone covers the city centre and applies to private cars as well as vans, so a non-compliant vehicle is fined for entering. Check your car on the official Low Emission Zones Scotland checker."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can a fitter work in a tenement back court?",
      "a": "Sometimes, if there is vehicle access and room to work safely. Describe the access when you book, or choose a nearby street or car park."

    {
      "q": "When should Glasgow drivers replace tyres?",
      "a": "With so much rain, many fitters advise replacing at around 3mm of tread rather than waiting for the 1.6mm legal minimum."
