  "lead": "Wakefield sits where the M1 and the M62 cross at Lofthouse, which makes it one of the busiest road hubs in the north. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Sandal or Outwood or at work, or choose a local garage, and know your price first.",
  "driving": [
    "Lofthouse Interchange, where the M1 meets the M62, is on Wakefield's doorstep, and between them the two motorways carry an enormous flow of traffic every day. Many Wakefield residents commute to Leeds, Bradford or Sheffield, and long motorway runs wear tyres steadily.",
    "The logistics parks along the M62 and at Normanton bring heavy lorries onto local roads, and the surfaces show it. Ruts and patched lanes can cause uneven wear, so an alignment check is worthwhile if the car starts to pull.",
    "Wakefield has no Clean Air Zone charge for drivers. The town centre ring road and the routes in from Horbury and Ossett can be slow at rush hour, which is a good reason to have the fitter come to you."
  ],
  "mobile": "Most homes in Wakefield's suburbs have drives or quiet streets, and the business and logistics parks around the M1 and M62 have large car parks a fitter can use with permission. Choose your spot, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them where the car sits and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If you prefer a workshop, garages on the network around Wakefield list their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop is the place for an alignment check.",
