Hennessy Industries

Coats HTS Tire Inflation Tool
The Coats HTS Tire Inflation Tool is a patent-pending device designed
to inject a large volume of air rapidly through the valve stem hole to seal
run-flat and low-profile tire assemblies, without any manual manipulation of the tire. According to the company, as run-flat and low-profile
tires become more common, the gap that typically exists between the
outboard tire bead and rim is reduced or non-existent, creating the
need for a device that introduces a large volume of inflation air quickly.
This device was co-developed between Coats
and Discount Tire, with input from leading
tire manufacturers. This tool is designed
to reduce a 20 to 30 minute job of sealing
these tire assemblies down to three
minutes. This tool is available
in a stand-alone mobile
version or an integrated
version for all Coats rim
clamp tire changers.
