2023 Mazda 3 with those low profile tires.....

This might sound hard to believe until you Google it. Giant Eagle is selling the GetGo's to Couche Tard. Those free pumps are probably coming to an end.

Couche-Tard will be running GETGO as a separate business entity and keeping all employees etc.
So maybe free air will stay.
My local one has 2 air pumps and there can be lines 3-4 deep for both.

The alligator clip versions are more powerful, but less convenient, and you're further from the farthest tire as they use car battery power. I've been using this manufacturer, but with the lighter socket adapter version. Works great, have had it at the dealership for 2 years.

The one I posted has hoses long enough to set the compressor on the engine, and run all the way back to a trailer tire. This one auto turns off when not in use, so when you pull the chuck to check pressure or change tires, it shuts down.

Sorry, I did not mean to imply low profile tires contributed to that. Not sure if they do or not.

My complaint with low profile tires is they don't last as long and they cost a lot more money.

I don't really see where you said or indicated any of that in your original post.
Just seemed to be an issue where you needed to air up your tires, and the gas stations you went to have broken equipment.

Would have happened the same if you drove in with a base Mazda 3, or even a GMC Yukon with stock wheels.

Exactly right. I shouldn’t have even said anything about LP tires in this case.
