Tuxedo TC-400M-B — Motorcycle Tire Changer
The Tuxedo TC-400M-B is a tire changer purpose-built for motorcycle and powersport wheels, not a car tire changer adapted for smaller sizes. Its adjustable clamp set is designed specifically for motorcycle wheel geometry, and its 10 in maximum wheel width — versus 15 in on Alamo's car/truck Tuxedo changers — reflects that narrower powersport wheel focus.
Pneumatic clamps and double-acting cylinders handle the mount/demount cycle, and a side-mounted bead breaker positions clear of the wheel for motorcycle-specific bead geometry. It includes a water separator, lubricator, and air pressure regulator built in, so shop air just needs to be connected.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Powersports shops and dealers servicing motorcycle and ATV/UTV wheels
- ✅ Shops that want a dedicated motorcycle changer instead of adapting a car tire changer
- ✅ Facilities needing the widest outside clamp range (6–24 in) of Alamo's Tuxedo tire changer lineup for small-diameter wheels
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Passenger car or light truck wheels — the 10 in max wheel width is narrower than what those tires need; see the TC-1300 or TC-430 instead
- ❌ Shops without shop air — pneumatic clamps require compressed air

What Makes the TC-400M-B Different
Purpose-Built for Motorcycle Wheels
The clamp set and wheel-width capacity (10 in max, vs. 15 in on Alamo's car/truck Tuxedo changers) are specifically sized for motorcycle and powersport wheel geometry, not a scaled-down car changer.
Side-Mounted Bead Breaker
Positioned to clear motorcycle wheel geometry, distinct from the bead-breaker placement on Alamo's car/truck tire changers.
Widest Outside Clamp Range for Small Wheels
The 6–24 in outside clamp range reaches smaller-diameter wheels than the TC-1300's 11–24 in or the TC-430's 10–18 in range — the range best suited to motorcycle wheel sizes.
Built-In Air Prep
A water separator, lubricator, and air pressure regulator are included, so no separate air prep components are needed before connecting shop air.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Powersports shops needing a dedicated motorcycle/ATV wheel changer
- ✅ Shops that don't want to compromise using a car tire changer on small wheels
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Passenger car or light truck tires — the 10 in wheel width capacity is too narrow
