  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Oxford fitted on your drive, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size and see the fitted price before you book.",
  "lead": "Oxford is a city where the car comes last, by design: a ring road around the outside, park and rides on every side and a small Zero Emission Zone in the middle. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Summertown or Headington or at work, or pick a garage nearby, and see your fitted price first.",
  "driving": [
    "Most Oxford journeys use the ring road, made up of the A34 on the west and the A40, A4142 and A423 round the rest, with heavy queues at the Headington, Cutteslowe and Botley junctions at rush hour. That stop-start pattern wears front tyres faster than open road miles.",
    "Inside the ring road, the city is built for buses, bikes and people on foot. Narrow streets, bus gates and cyclists on every corner make driving into the centre slow, and the small Zero Emission Zone in the very centre charges petrol and diesel vehicles a daily fee. A fitter who comes to your drive avoids all of it.",
    "Oxford is fairly flat, but the Thames and the Cherwell mean low lying roads can flood after heavy rain, especially around Botley Road and Abingdon Road. Good tread depth is what keeps a car stable through standing water."
  ],
  "mobile": "Many Oxford homes have drives or quiet roads, and the business parks and hospitals around Headington have large car parks where a fitter can work with permission. Choose the spot, add any access notes, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them by the car and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If you prefer to visit a garage, workshops on the network around Oxford show their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop is the place for alignment work.",

  "team": "We love Oxford because it rewards slowing down, ideally on a bike or in a punt. Behind the famous towers there are neighbourhoods like Jericho and Cowley Road with brilliant food and independent shops. It is a city that has decided cars should not rule the centre, and we think bringing the fitting to your door fits that idea perfectly.",
  "faqs": [
    {
      "q": "Will I be charged for driving into the Oxford Zero Emission Zone?",
      "a": "Petrol and diesel vehicles pay a daily charge to drive in the zone, which covers a small area in the very centre. A mobile fitting at home avoids it altogether."

    {
      "q": "Can tyres be fitted at the hospital or a business park in Headington?",
      "a": "Often, yes, if the site allows it and the fitter can park beside your car. Check the parking rules and add the details when you book."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is it worth checking my tyres after driving through floodwater?",
      "a": "Yes. Standing water can hide potholes, and deep water can damage brakes and bearings. Check the tyres and wheels for damage and the pressures after any flooded road."

      "q": "Which postcodes does this page cover?",
