  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Leicester fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size, see the fitted price first, then book across the city.",
  "lead": "Leicester sits at the junction of the M1 and the M69 with two ring roads wrapped around a compact centre. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted on your drive in Knighton or Evington, at work, or at a local garage, and see the price before you pay.",
  "driving": [
    "Most Leicester journeys involve one of its two ring roads. The central ring keeps traffic moving around the old town, and the outer ring, the A563, links suburbs from Beaumont Leys round to Oadby. Both have a lot of roundabouts, and roundabout-heavy driving wears the shoulders of front tyres faster than straight-line miles.",
    "Leicester is a flat city by English standards, which makes it gentle on tyres, but it is busy. The Golden Mile on Belgrave Road and Narborough Road are among the city's liveliest streets, packed with parked cars and tight gaps, and a scuffed sidewall from a misjudged kerb is a common reason for a tyre change.",
    "There is no Clean Air Zone charge in Leicester. Many residents commute out along the M1 towards Loughborough, Nottingham and Northampton, so steady motorway miles are a big part of tyre wear for a typical Leicester car."
  ],
  "mobile": "A lot of Leicester homes have a drive or off-street parking, which makes mobile fitting simple. Give us the address, mention any access details, and the fitter brings the tyres, fits and balances them beside your car and takes the old ones away. Work car parks on the business parks around Fosse Park and Grove Park work just as well.",
  "workshop": "If you prefer a workshop, garages on the network around Leicester show their distance and their fitted price before you book. Choose a workshop for alignment, which is worth checking if your tyres are wearing on one edge.",

In one afternoon you can see a medieval king's grave, eat some of the best Gujarati food in the country and catch a match. It has a strong sense of fairness and a lot of family-run businesses, which suits a marketplace that shows the full price up front.",
