iDEAL Motorcycle & Auto Wheel Balancer — WB-953-B-MCAB-K
The Tuxedo WB-953-B-MCAB-K is a dual-purpose wheel balancer built to handle both motorcycle wheels and passenger car/light-truck wheels on one machine. It balances motorcycle tires from 14.5 in to 32 in in diameter and auto/truck tires up to 39 in, with a rim diameter range of 10 in to 24 in and rim width from 1.5 in to 20 in.
Data entry is via keypad, and the balancer is rated to 1-gram accuracy on wheel/tire assemblies up to 150 lb. It runs on standard 110V, 15A single-phase power, so it drops into most shops without new electrical work.
It's built for powersport dealerships, general repair shops, and independent tire/wheel service businesses that want one balancer capable of covering both motorcycle and automotive wheel work instead of running two separate machines.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Powersport dealerships and motorcycle repair shops adding wheel balancing capability
- ✅ General repair and tire shops that want one balancer covering both motorcycle and auto/light-truck wheels
- ✅ Facilities with standard 110V single-phase power and no compressed air line at the balancer location
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Wheel/tire assemblies over 150 lb or auto tires over 39 in diameter
- ❌ Shops needing fully automatic data entry (this unit uses keypad entry, not laser/sonar auto-measurement)

What Makes the WB-953-B-MCAB-K Different
Dual Motorcycle & Auto Capability
Covers motorcycle tires 14.5 in–32 in and auto/truck tires up to 39 in on a single balancer, with a 10 in–24 in rim diameter range — useful for shops that service both vehicle types.
Keypad Data Entry
Rim width and diameter are entered via keypad rather than automatic sonar/laser measurement, keeping the machine straightforward to operate and maintain.
1-Gram Accuracy, 150 lb Capacity
Balances wheel/tire assemblies up to 150 lb to within 1 gram of accuracy.
110V Single-Phase Power Only
No compressed air line is required — the balancer runs on standard 110V, 15A single-phase power alone.
Footprint
Ship weight is approximately 317 lb; confirm floor space and clearance for wheel loading before ordering.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Shops that need to balance both motorcycle and passenger/light-truck wheels on one machine
- ✅ Facilities with only 110V single-phase power available at the balancer location
- ✅ Independent and dealership service bays adding balancing capacity alongside a tire changer
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Wheel/tire assemblies heavier than 150 lb
- ❌ Shops wanting fully automatic sonar/laser rim measurement instead of keypad entry
WB-953-B-MCAB-K vs. TC-400M-B-PL230-K — Wheel Balancer or Tire Changer?
These serve different jobs in the same wheel-service bay, not competing options.
| Decision Point | WB-953-B-MCAB-K | TC-400M-B-PL230-K |
|---|---|---|
| Function | Balances a mounted wheel/tire assembly | Mounts and demounts tires from the rim |
| Max wheel/tire size | 39 in tire diameter (auto), 14.5–32 in (motorcycle) | 37 in wheel diameter, 10 in width |
| Power requirement | 110V, 15A single-phase (no air required) | 110V, 15A single-phase + 125 psi air |
| Typical pairing | Paired with a tire changer to complete the job | Paired with a wheel balancer to complete the job |
Most powersport service bays need both: the TC-400M-B-PL230-K to mount/demount tires and a WB-953-B-MCAB-K to balance them afterward. Call (817) 865-3707 if you're outfitting a full wheel-service bay.
