May 1, 2025

Spring is finally here in Moose Jaw, and that means it’s time to take off those winter tires and get your vehicle ready for the warmer months ahead. Whether you drive a car, truck, or SUV, making the switch to All Season, All Weather, or summer tires isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential for your safety and your vehicle’s performance.

At Panda Tire and Auto, we make tire changes quick, easy, and stress-free. But don’t wait too long—spring appointments fill up fast!

Why It’s Important to Change Your Winter Tires

Winter tires are built for icy, cold conditions, but they wear out quickly in warm weather and don’t perform as well once temperatures stay above 7°C. Driving on them too long into spring can actually cost you more in the long run—shorter tire life, reduced fuel efficiency, and less responsive handling.

That’s why switching to All Season, All Weather, or summer tires is the smart move.

Here’s a quick overview:

All Season tires: Reliable for spring, summer, and fall driving in Saskatchewan.
All Weather tires: Certified for light winter use but built to handle year-round conditions.
Summer tires: Designed for top performance on dry, warm roads.

Not sure what’s best for your vehicle? Our team will walk you through the options and help you choose the right tires for your car, truck, or SUV.

Wheel Alignments Available (If Needed)

After switching tires, your vehicle might need a wheel alignment—especially if you’ve hit a few potholes over the winter. A proper alignment helps extend the life of your new tires and ensures your vehicle drives straight and handles smoothly.

If we see signs of misalignment during your tire change, we’ll let you know and take care of it for you. It’s just another way we help you get the most out of your visit.

Investing in Advanced Technology

Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with cameras, sensors, and radar systems that assist with lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, and emergency braking. Even a small misalignment can affect how these systems perform. That’s why precise calibration is critical—and why we’ve invested in Autel’s state-of-the-art alignment and ADAS technology.

A new Autel Aligner & ADAS system, such as the IA1000, is an advanced, automated solution for wheel alignment and the calibration of modern driver-assist systems. It integrates precise robotic movements, laser guidance, high-definition cameras, and digital targets to reduce manual setup and dramatically improve accuracy for complex ADAS calibrations like ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), LDW (Lane Departure Warning), and AVM (Around View Monitoring).

The IA1000 goes far beyond basic alignment data—it offers comprehensive measurement and documentation, all controlled through an easy-to-use tablet interface. With automated features like unlevel floor compensation and pre- and post-calibration reports, the system ensures that every calibration and alignment is completed to exact manufacturer standards and verified for accuracy.

Why It’s Used

ADAS Systems: Calibrations are often required after collision repairs, suspension work, windshield replacements, or any modification affecting the vehicle’s height or camera positioning.
Wheel Alignments: The IA1000 performs advanced wheel alignments on vehicles that need them, often in conjunction with ADAS calibration.
Safety: ADAS features are critical for driver safety and accident prevention—requiring precise calibration to ensure these systems function as designed.
