Ok, stupid question incoming…
Do air pumps at a gas station have a gauge thingy on them so I don’t over inflate a tire? I’ve never done this before

They do, but might be hard to make "mate"/"seat" properly so you don't lose air
If you push it down straight a few times and it is only letting your air out, it might be missing the rubber washer which helps it seal.
Costco has free pumps, you dial the pressure (the recommended ones are on the sticker on your driver's side door frame).

@SomeMichGuy ok, so just push on and turn on the pump and watch the gauge and stop when it hits the pressure noted on the door?

@metamorphosis Yes!

@SomeMichGuy sounds simple enough! Here’s to hoping I don’t mess it up lol

@metamorphosis I don't think you will. I believe in you.

@metamorphosis The biggest thing is to just try to shove it on straight.
If you go somewhere other than Costco, they often have a pressure gauge that has a brass part that rises up out of the handle itself.
For that, it's the same idea: make sure you know the target pressure, and look for that number (they might not have every 5 PSI marked with a number, so just look at the scale--but you stay very fit, so you can read a scale; this is the same as an analog weight scale, just in PSI).
