What This Machine Does
The TC665R and TC665RA are heavy duty tyre changers with a pneumatically operated tilting back post, built for standard, low-profile and run-flat wheels on cars and light commercial vehicles. The post tilts back under air rather than being swung by hand, which clears the wheel for loading and returns it to the same working position every time. A right help arm supports the bead during mounting and demounting, which is what makes stiff low-profile and run-flat sidewalls workable without levering against the rim. The bead breaker runs on a larger 200 mm diameter cylinder and is adjustable, so it can be set to the sidewall being broken instead of applied at one fixed stroke. Clamping covers 12 to 24 inches outside and 14 to 26 inches inside, taking wheels up to 45 inches (1140 mm) diameter and 14 inches (355 mm) wide. A rear air tank acts as a tubeless tyre inflation device with a pedal-controlled inflator. The motor is 0.75 kW or 1.1 kW, supply is 220 V, 380 V or 110 V, air supply 8 to 10 bar, and noise under 70 dB.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Pneumatic tilt-back post clears the wheel for loading and returns to the same position every cycle
- Right help arm supports stiff low-profile and run-flat sidewalls instead of levering against the rim
- 200 mm diameter bead breaker cylinder gives more breaking force on hard-set beads
- Adjustable bead breaker is set to the sidewall being worked rather than applied at one fixed stroke
- Rear air tank and pedal-controlled inflator seat tubeless tyres without a separate inflation station
- Outside clamping 12 to 24 inches and inside clamping 14 to 26 inches covers modern car and van rim sizes
- Larger main body and turning table take wheels up to 45 inches diameter and 14 inches wide
Where Pneumatic Tilt-Back Post Tyre Changer TC665R Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Run-flat and low-profile sidewalls are too stiff to demount safely without a help arm
- A fixed-stroke bead breaker either fails on hard-set beads or marks softer sidewalls
- Manually swinging the post back is slow and does not return to a consistent working position
- Seating a tubeless tyre without a burst of stored air means going to a separate inflation device
- Clamping ranges that stop at 22 inches exclude an increasing share of modern rim sizes
- Levering stiff tyres against an alloy rim damages the rim and generates warranty claims
Who It Is For
- Tyre fitting shops handling run-flat and low-profile work
- General car and van service workshops adding tyre capability
- Fleet and taxi depots changing their own tyres
- Fast-fit chains standardising bay equipment
- Garage equipment distributors supplying tyre bays in export markets
Application Scenarios
- Changing standard low-profile and run-flat tyres on passenger cars
- Tyre work on light commercial vehicles and vans in a mixed service bay
- Seasonal tyre changeover runs where the same size repeats through the day
- Seating and inflating tubeless tyres using the rear air tank
- Alloy wheel work where the right help arm reduces the risk of rim damage
- General service workshops adding tyre work alongside mechanical servicing

How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Swing-arm tyre changer | A swing-arm machine is compact but the arm is positioned by hand each time; the pneumatic tilt-back post returns to the same working position and clears the wheel fully for loading |
|---|---|
| A tyre changer without a help arm | Without a help arm, run-flat and low-profile sidewalls have to be levered, which is slow and is where alloy rims get damaged |
| Separate tubeless inflation cage or device | The rear air tank and pedal inflator seat the bead at the machine, so the wheel does not move to a second station |
| XAIMC truck tyre changer T998A | The T998A is for truck rims from 14 to 48 inches; the TC665R series is sized for car and light commercial wheels up to 45 inches diameter |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Connect a clean air supply at 8 to 10 bar and confirm the rear air tank has charged
Step 2
Deflate the tyre and remove the valve core before starting
Step 3
Set the adjustable bead breaker to the sidewall and break both beads
Step 4
Clamp the rim, outside from 12 to 24 inches or inside from 14 to 26 inches as the rim requires
Step 5
Tilt the post back pneumatically, position the mounting head and demount the tyre using the right help arm on stiff sidewalls
Step 6
Lubricate the new tyre beads and mount using the help arm to hold the bead in the drop centre
Step 7
Seat the tubeless bead with the pedal-controlled inflator then inflate to the correct working pressure
