  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Newcastle upon Tyne fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size and see the fitted price before you book.",
  "lead": "Newcastle is bridges, steep banks down to the Quayside and a motorway that cuts straight through the middle. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted on your street in Jesmond or Heaton or at work in the centre, or pick a local garage, and know your price first.",
  "driving": [
    "The drop from the city centre to the Tyne is steep. Dean Street, Side and the banks around the Ouseburn are short, sharp and often cobbled, and they are hard work for brakes and front tyres alike. The Central Motorway, the A167(M), then sweeps traffic past the centre with tight merges that reward good grip.",
    "North East winters are colder than the national average and the wind off the North Sea makes them feel colder still. Ice on the Coast Road and on the hills out towards Westerhope is a regular feature from December to March, which is why so many local drivers choose all-season tyres.",
    "Newcastle and Gateshead share a Class C Clean Air Zone in the centre. Private cars are not charged, but older vans, taxis, buses and lorries can be. The Tyne Tunnel on the A19 is a toll crossing, so a fitter who comes to you avoids a paid trip under the river."
  ],
  "mobile": "Most of Newcastle's terraces and Tyneside flats have on-street parking, so think about where a fitter can work safely for half an hour. A back lane, a drive, a quiet side street or your work car park all work well. The fitter arrives with the tyres, fits and balances them beside the car and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "Prefer a garage? Workshops on the network around Newcastle list their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop is the place for alignment if a pothole on the Coast Road has left the steering pulling.",

  "team": "We love Newcastle because it is generous. People talk to strangers at bus stops, the nights out are legendary and nobody pretends to be anything they are not. It is a city that turns out in its tens of thousands for the Great North Run every September, and that sense of community is what we want our marketplace to feel like here.",

      "q": "Is my car charged in the Newcastle Clean Air Zone?",

      "q": "Do I need winter tyres in Newcastle?",
      "a": "They are not required, but cold winters and frequent ice make all-season tyres a sensible choice, especially if you drive out onto the A1 or the moorland roads to the west."
