Will the TC500M gouge or scratch up aluminum rims or will they somehow be protected?

The plastic duckhead inserts are what protects the wheel. With that said, we recommend getting yourself an aluminum wheel and tire you don't care about and learn to use the machine on a throw-away wheel and tire. You're certain to learn the right and wrong way to do it as you develop your method. Thanks for shopping with us!

Can this change the motor and non motor tires for escooters? Are there additional tools/clamps that need to be purchased to handle those small tires

This machine, nor any of the powered machines we sell, are able to be used for changing solid e-scooter tires. There are special tire irons made for that purpose, but we do not sell them. Thanks for shopping with us!

Can a motorcyle rim with dual brake rotors fit on this, without removing the rotors? Or have a single rotor facing down with out hitting turntable.

Assuming you buy the motorcycle adapters, we don't see that being any problem. With that said, please understand we do not know exactly which tire/wheel you're talking about, and we haven't tested every manufacturer's motorcycle tire/wheel on this machine, so while we're confident, there's always the tiniest chance we're wrong, at which point you'd have to remove the rotor. Thanks for shopping with us Dan!

Yes sir. Our posted spec says outside rim clamping min 8' to max 28' Thanks for shopping with us David.

Can the TC500M handle a 235/85 truck tire? I'm tracking the rim diameter being 16 inches is fine, more concerned about the outer diameter. Thanks

The TC500M can handle tires up to a maximum of 36' in diameter. Thanks for your question Josh!

A great Tire Changer at a great price
Jan 2, 2024

We bought this tire changer because we didn't want to have to buy an expensive piece of equipment AND upgrade our air compressor capacity. This tire changer was perfect! Our previous tire machine would only allow us to change up to 15" tires. The TC500M works great for all our needs. The tubular metal arm that rotates the deck and works the bead breaker could be better constructed (ours bent) but other than that the TC500M has been a welcome addition to our workshop. The price was great and the customer service was great too!

TC500M Tire changer, fast delivery and well made
Nov 21, 2019

I couldn't be happier with the TC500M tire changer I ordered. Delivery was fast with no shipping damage due to a strong shipping crate and the tire changer was surprisingly well built. It included (4) sets of plastic pads for the mounting head, a set of pads for the clamp jaws as well as one on the bead breaker. Even the included tools were better quality than I was expecting. I have used it several times now and it is rigid enough that even 45 series tires don't pull the mounting head into the rim. Great service, fast shipping and much better quality than anticipated.
