Nexen’s 5 Common Tire Selection Mistakes:

Selecting Primarily for Appearance: Heavy mud-terrain (M/T) features increase road noise, rolling resistance, and vehicle weight on daily commutes.

Treating A/T, R/T, and M/T as Interchangeable: Upgrading from All-Terrain (A/T) to Rugged-Terrain (R/T) or Mud-Terrain (M/T) does not improve all performance parameters, particularly wet pavement braking.

Equating Mud Traction with Wet-Road Grip: Mud evacuation requires deep voids, whereas wet-weather stopping power relies on tread stability, siping, and contact patch size.

Buying for the Extreme Scenario: Outfitting a daily commuter with aggressive M/T tires for occasional trail use compromises year-round driving dynamics.

Treating Load Range as a Toughness Rating: Higher ply/load ratings support heavy payload and towing, but add unsprung weight and stiffen ride quality when unnecessary.

Pickup and SUV owners spent over $2 billion on off-road and oversized tires in 2025 according to SEMA market data. However, with only 26 percent of truck accessorizers actually driving off-road, Nexen Tire America is highlighting five common...

To check for hail:
1. Clean roof rail with a clean wet microfiber cloth.

Or give us a call.

We are getting a lot of calls today regarding hail and flooding.

Question 1: Do I have hail damage?
If your car was outside in Swift Current last night then yes you likely do.
If you'd like to be sure, stop by our shop and one of our staff can have a quick look.

Question 2: What do I do now?
Call SGI and get a claim number and then book an estimate with our shop, or one of Swift Current's other fine establishments.
Call 1-844-855-2744, visit www.sgi.sk.ca or stop in at the SGI office here in downtown Swift Current, across from the EI Wood building.
Question 3: How long will my repair take?

The actual repair of the vehicle may only take 1 to 5 days depending of the severity of the damage.
With that said, a lot of Paintless Dent Repair firms are backed up with Regina's storm.

Our shop, and I'm sure others in town, will be doing our best to get some PDR teams into town to assist with this process.

Call us at 306-773-2288 if you have any questions!

It's great to see other shops in Swift Current help promote the trades to these kids!
There isn't a autobody class at the Comp, or anywhere except Moose Jaw Peacock Collegiate, so this goes a long way!
