Tuxedo TC-950 — Tire Changer
The Tuxedo TC-950 is a swing-arm tire changer built for shops that need more capacity than a compact changer offers, handling wheels up to 47 in in diameter and 15 in wide. Twin clamping cylinders and a side bead breaker handle the mount/demount cycle on cars, light trucks, and larger wheel packages.
This base TC-950 does not include the left-side press arm that Alamo's TC-950-WPA adds for low-profile and run-flat tires — it's the standard swing-arm configuration for shops that don't specifically need that assist mechanism.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Shops servicing wheels up to 47 in diameter and 15 in wide
- ✅ Facilities that need more capacity than the compact TC-530
- ✅ Shops that don't specifically need low-profile/run-flat press-arm assist
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ High-volume low-profile/run-flat tire work — see the TC-950-WPA for the press-arm version
- ❌ Heavy truck/OTR wheels — see the TC-770-T

What Makes the TC-950 Different
47 In Max Wheel Diameter
Handles larger wheel packages than the compact TC-530's 38 in capacity.
Twin Clamping Cylinders and Side Bead Breaker
Standard swing-arm mount/demount mechanism for cars, light trucks, and larger wheels.
✅ Best For
- ✅ General car/light-truck tire service up to 47 in wheels
- ✅ Shops that don't need dedicated low-profile/run-flat assist
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ High-volume low-profile or run-flat tire work — the TC-950-WPA's press arm handles that better
TC-950 vs. TC-950-WPA — Do You Need the Press Arm?
Identical wheel-capacity specs; the only real difference is the press arm.
| Decision Point | TC-950 (this product) | TC-950-WPA |
|---|---|---|
| Max wheel diameter | 47 in | 47 in |
| Left-side press arm | Not included | Included — for low-profile/run-flat tires |
| Ship weight | 640 lb | 880 lb |
Choose the TC-950 if you don't run high volumes of stiff-sidewall low-profile or run-flat tires. Choose the TC-950-WPA if you do — the press arm holds the sidewall down during mount/demount. Call (817) 865-3707 if you're not sure which fits your shop.
