Tuxedo TC-400M-B-PL230 — Assist Press Arm Assy
The Tuxedo TC-400M-B-PL230 is a bolt-on assist press arm accessory built specifically for the TC-400M-B and TC-430 power-sport tire changers. It adds a height-adjustable, air-operated push-down foot that presses low-profile, stiff-sidewall motorcycle, ATV, and UTV tires down onto the mount/demount head — a job that's difficult and rim-damage-prone by hand.
The arm mounts directly to the existing tire changer tower and runs off the same air supply already feeding the host machine, so there's no separate compressor or circuit to add. Simple up/down toggle operation makes it a one-person job to mount tough, low-profile power-sport tires.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Power-sport shops running a TC-400M-B or TC-430 that regularly mount low-profile, stiff-sidewall tires
- ✅ Techs who want to speed up tough mounts and reduce the risk of rim damage from manual pressing
- ✅ Shops adding this as a factory accessory rather than sourcing an aftermarket workaround
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Tire changers other than the TC-400M-B / TC-430 — it is not a universal fit
- ❌ Standalone use — it requires an existing compatible tire changer to mount to

What Makes the TC-400M-B-PL230 Different
Purpose-Built Assist Arm
Designed specifically for the TC-400M-B and TC-430 — not a generic clamp-on accessory — so it mounts cleanly and uses the tire changer's own air supply.
Height-Adjustable Push-Down Foot
Adjusts to match different wheel and sidewall profiles, simplifying mounting of low-profile, stiff-sidewall power-sport tires.
Simple Air-Operated Toggle Control
Up/down toggle operation runs off the tire changer's existing air supply — no separate compressor circuit to install.
Protects Wheels
Limits the likelihood of rim damage that can happen when pressing stiff sidewalls down by hand or with improvised tools.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Shops that already run or are ordering a TC-400M-B or TC-430
- ✅ Techs regularly mounting low-profile, stiff-sidewall motorcycle/ATV/UTV tires
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Shops without a compatible TC-400M-B or TC-430 tire changer already in place
