Coats has announced the relaunch of the RC Series, expanding the lineup to pair existing RC tire changers with the new RC 450 and RC 550 wheel balancers. The series is built for general repair shops servicing passenger cars and light trucks with common OEM fitments, as well as tire dealers in need of additional capacity. 

Built with durability and ease of use, Coats aims to give their customers the core tire-changing and balancing capabilitis needed to handle everyday tire repairs, rotations, balancing, and more without overbuilding their bay or changing their setup. 

The RC 450 and 550 replace the 1185 and 885 space-saving balancer line. Coats sees this refreshed RC Series as more than just a replacement, bringing tire changing and wheel balancing together under a single lineup, giving shops a matched setup build around ease of use, servicability, and practical day-to-day capability. 

RC tire changers remain part of the lineup and now feature a modernized look. Built around the rim clamp and swing arm design, the RC bring 115V balancing capability to the same series.

A word from Coats

"The RC Series is for shops that want to say yes to more everyday tire service work," said Kevin Keefe, director of marketing at Coats. "It gives general repair shops and tire dealers a dependable tire changer and balancer pair that fits how they work, supports the fitments they see most often and gives them the confidence of Coats behind it."
