  "seo_desc": "Tyres in York 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": "York is a walled medieval city where the centre belongs to people on foot and the traffic goes round the outside. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Acomb or Haxby, at work, or at a local garage, and see your fitted price before you pay.",
  "driving": [
    "Inside the city walls, York's footstreets are closed to most traffic for much of the day, and the gates in the walls, the Bars, squeeze what traffic there is into single lanes. Most journeys instead use the inner ring road and then the outer ring road, the A1237, which has long been one of the busiest single carriageway ring roads in the north and is being upgraded.",
    "The Ouse and the Foss run right through the city and flood regularly, sometimes closing riverside roads and car parks for days. Driving through standing water at speed can damage tyres and hide potholes beneath the surface, so good tread and steady speeds matter more in York than in most places.",
    "York's Clean Air Zone applies to buses rather than private cars. Out on the A64 towards Leeds and the coast, or north up the A19, long country miles make up a lot of the driving for York cars."
  ],
  "mobile": "Plenty of York homes have drives, especially in the suburbs outside the walls, and the business parks at Clifton Moor, Monks Cross and the university have car parks a fitter can use with permission. Choose your spot, and the fitter arrives with your tyres, fits and balances them where you are and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If you would rather take the car in, workshops on the network around York list their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop visit is the better choice for an alignment check.",

  "team": "We love York because every street has a story, and most of them are more than a thousand years old. It is a city of tearooms, ghost walks, riverside pubs and races on the Knavesmire, and it is just as lovely on a frosty January morning as in high summer. Driving into the centre is the one thing nobody here recommends, which is why we bring the fitting to you.",

      "q": "Is it safe to drive through York floodwater?",
      "a": "It is best avoided. Floodwater can hide potholes and debris, and deep water can damage the engine and brakes. If you have driven through it, check your tyres and wheels for damage."

    {
      "q": "Can a fitter come inside the city walls?",
      "a": "Footstreet restrictions mean vehicles are barred for much of the day. If you live inside the walls, a nearby car park or a time outside the restricted hours may work. Add details when you book."
