Things you need for a tire quote

 

Giving us your license plate number gives us the ability to decode what type of vehicle you have.  That way our team can check speed ratings and tire sizes against the manufacturer of the vehicle and the specs that you give us.

 

Tire size - There are three numbers needed to get a tire quote Tread width \ Profile \ Rim size.

Vehicles will have multiple sizes on them from the vehicle manufacturer or the rims could have been changed.  It’s best to read the size of tire you currently have and compare it to the sticker in the driver's side door jam.

 

Tire speed and load ratings.  When getting tires you should check to make sure your tires speed and load rating matches or exceeds what is required for the vehicle.  

 

With purchase of 4 or more tires we offer free patching and tire rotations.  You have to bring it back to Hensley’s Auto to perform these services.

Tire patching - If you get the unwelcome surprise of a flat tire or slow leak Hensley’s Auto can help patch your tire.  Tires that are under minimum thread depth or punctures in the sidewall are unrepairable.  We use internal patches with stems in them.   This ensures  that the patch won’t come out and makes a good seal.

 

Tire Rotations - Tire rotations are important to ensure your vehicle's tires wear uniformly.  Consult with your vehicle owners manual for when to rotate.  A good rule of them is every 8000 miles.
