Driving in Dunfermline, and what it means for your tyres
Dunfermline is a commuter city for Edinburgh, and the M90 and the Queensferry Crossing carry a heavy flow south every morning. The bridge is high and exposed, and strong crosswinds can bring speed restrictions. Good tyres at the right pressures help keep the car steady.
The city has grown fast to the east, with large new estates at Duloch and Masterton linked by busy distributor roads and roundabouts. Lots of roundabout driving wears the front shoulders of tyres more than straight roads do.
Dunfermline has no Low Emission Zone charge. The roads west towards Kincardine and north into central Fife are rural, with farm traffic and winter frost that settles in the hollows.
Mobile tyre fitting in Dunfermline
Most Dunfermline homes, especially in the newer estates, have drives or parking bays, which makes mobile fitting easy. The business parks at Pitreavie and Carnegie Campus have car parks a fitter can use with permission. Choose your spot, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them where you are and takes the old ones away.
