  "lead": "Ipswich is an old port town on the Orwell estuary, crossed by the A14 on its way to Felixstowe, one of the busiest container ports in Britain. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Kesgrave or Castle Hill or at work, or choose a local garage, and know your price first.",
  "driving": [
    "The A14 is the defining road in Ipswich. It carries lorries to and from the Port of Felixstowe all day and night, and the Orwell Bridge, which takes it over the estuary, is closed in high winds. When it shuts, traffic floods through the town centre, which is a good day to have a fitter come to you rather than drive across town.",
    "Heavy lorry traffic wears road surfaces into ruts, and the A14 and the A12 around the town see their share of rough patches. Ruts and patched surfaces can show up as uneven tread wear, which is a sign the alignment may need checking.",
    "Ipswich has no Clean Air Zone charge for drivers. Suffolk's country lanes, around Woodbridge and the Shotley peninsula, are narrow, with soft verges and flints that can cause punctures."
  ],
  "mobile": "Ipswich's suburbs mostly have drives or quiet streets, and the business parks at Ransomes Europark, Martlesham and along the A14 have large car parks. Choose your spot, give us any access details, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them where you are and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If you would rather visit a garage, workshops on the network around Ipswich list their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop is the place for an alignment check.",
