Tuxedo TC-530 — Tire Changer
The Tuxedo TC-530 is a compact swing-arm tire changer built for cars and light trucks, sized for shops that don't need the larger 47 in capacity of Alamo's TC-950 line. Twin clamping cylinders hold the wheel through the mount/demount cycle on wheels up to 38 in in diameter and 12 in wide.
As a manual swing-arm design, the TC-530 doesn't include leverless or assist-arm automation — it's built to be a straightforward, dependable changer for shops running standard passenger and light-truck tire volume rather than high-volume low-profile work.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Shops servicing cars and light trucks up to 38 in wheel diameter
- ✅ Facilities that want a compact, dependable swing-arm changer without automation overhead
- ✅ Budget-conscious shops that don't need the TC-950's larger capacity
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Wheels over 38 in diameter or 12 in wide — see the TC-950 for larger capacity
- ❌ High-volume low-profile tire work needing leverless automation
