Tuxedo TC-950-WPA — Tire Changer with Left Side Press Arm
The Tuxedo TC-950-WPA is the same 47 in-capacity swing-arm platform as Alamo's TC-950, with one genuine functional addition: a left-side power-assist press arm built specifically for low-profile and run-flat tires with stiff sidewalls. During mount/demount, the press arm holds the sidewall down so the machine's standard tooling can work the bead — something the base TC-950 can't do without it.
Everything else — wheel capacity, clamp range, power requirements — matches the base TC-950 exactly. The WPA is heavier (880 lb vs. 640 lb) because of the added press-arm assembly, not a different frame or mechanism.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Shops running meaningful volumes of low-profile or run-flat tires with stiff sidewalls
- ✅ Facilities that want the TC-950's 47 in capacity plus dedicated stiff-sidewall assist
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Shops that rarely see low-profile/run-flat tires — the base TC-950 costs less and skips the press arm you won't use
- ❌ Heavy truck/OTR wheels — see the TC-770-T

What Makes the TC-950-WPA Different
Left-Side Power-Assist Press Arm
Holds down the stiff sidewall of a low-profile or run-flat tire during mount/demount so the machine's standard tooling can work the bead — a genuine functional addition the base TC-950 does not have.
Same 47 In Capacity as the TC-950
Wheel diameter, wheel width, and clamp-range specs match the base TC-950 exactly — this is an added mechanism, not a different-capacity machine.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Shops with regular low-profile or run-flat tire volume
- ✅ Facilities wanting the TC-950's 47 in capacity plus stiff-sidewall assist
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Shops that rarely see low-profile/run-flat tires — the base TC-950 is the more cost-effective fit
TC-950-WPA vs. TC-950 — Is the Press Arm Worth It?
Same capacity, real functional difference.
| Decision Point | TC-950-WPA (this product) | TC-950 |
|---|---|---|
| Left-side press arm | Included | Not included |
| Best for | Low-profile / run-flat tire volume | General car/light-truck service |
| Ship weight | 880 lb | 640 lb |
Choose the TC-950-WPA if stiff-sidewall low-profile or run-flat tires are a regular part of your work. Choose the base TC-950 if they aren't. Call (817) 865-3707 if you're not sure which fits your shop.
