There should be index marks near the rear axle on both sides, stamped into the frame. The indicator should be pointing at the same mark on each side.

Any shop that would gague tire pressure by feel is not to be trusted. :skull:

Alan's suggestion about grooved pavement has turned out to be the key factor for more than one new rider.
