  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Peterborough fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size and see the fitted price before you book.",
  "lead": "Peterborough is a cathedral city with a new town grid of parkways laid around it and the A1(M) on its western edge. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Orton or Werrington or at work, or choose a local garage, and know your price before you pay.",
  "driving": [
    "Peterborough's parkways, fast dual carriageways like the Soke, Nene, Fletton and Frank Perkins Parkways, connect the townships and carry most of the traffic. They are quick and well designed, but the pattern of fast stretches broken by big roundabouts wears front tyres on the shoulders.",
    "The A1(M) runs along the western side of the city and the A47 runs east to west, so Peterborough cars often do long distances to London, the north, Leicester or the Norfolk coast. Steady motorway miles mean watching overall tread depth and tyre age rather than odd wear.",
    "East of the city the Fens are flat, open and exposed to crosswinds, with straight roads raised beside deep drainage dykes. Good tyres matter there, especially in fog and ice. Peterborough has no Clean Air Zone charge for drivers."
  ],
  "mobile": "Peterborough's townships were planned with off-street parking, so most homes have a drive or a parking bay, and the city's large business and distribution parks have big car parks. Book your slot, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them where you are and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If you prefer to visit a garage, workshops on the network around Peterborough show their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop is the right choice for alignment work.",

It is green, easy to get around and full of people who drive long distances, which is why a tyre fitting that comes to you makes so much sense here.",

      "q": "Do crosswinds on fen roads affect tyres?",
      "a": "Not directly, but strong crosswinds make good grip and correct pressures more important. Keep tyres at the pressures in your handbook, especially when the car is loaded."
