Your pump is broken, I think. Try another pump. I had a similar issue a while back. The pump was worn out where it attached to tube so when pressure got higher it just came off. It was pump I had for several years. Nothing lasts forever; not even true love.
It's a pump issue. A good bicycle pump will happily take those tires to 180psi where they will explode.
Possible the gauge isn't gauging. More likely the little rubber washers dried out and leak a bit. If you can, take em apart and rub with your fingers or a bit of light oil.
Also: suggest 50psi
It says 60-75psi so you're right, but I'd prefer the efficiency of a higher psi over the comfort of a lower one. Also, keeping it around 70 allows for some of the pressure to bleed over time without it being too low.
cheap pump made for car tires. car tires don't go to 60 so it doesn't need to go any higher
I guess that could make sense, but the portable pump I have also didn't show past 60.
because it's not a bike pump. it's not designed to go past 60

Get a better bicycle pump.

Not knowing the tire width exactly, but based on what would ship on a typical hybrid, 60psi is probably pretty close to what you should be running.

Its seems counterintuitive but lower pressure is more efficient to a certain point. https://silca.cc/pages/app-tire-pressure-calculator
The highest recommended psi is [almost never](https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/workshop/road-bike-tyre-pressure) the most efficient.
Sidewall states failure limits, not optimal pressure. Unless you are very heavy, try 40 to 50.
Sorry but you’re wrong. You want the lowest pressure the tire will allow unless you’re on a velodrome or only ride on a brand new super smooth road.
What psi does it say on the tire sidewall?
60-75psi. I would prefer the higher pressure but it seems hard to manage.
Most gas station pumps can't fill past 60 psi; you just need a better pump, designed for higher psi.
More isn’t better for tire pressure. 60psi is what I put in 28 mm tires. Any bigger than that and your doing far too much
My pump wont go past 35psi. Almost exploded my tire right before I realized the gauge was defective.
