Problem inflating Bridgestones

I have an air compressor that I know works and I've used it on all of our vehicles. My 07 G35 coupe has 3 tires that are a bit low on pressure. I tried adding air and the tires won't accept anything. Any suggestions? I don't know if the stems are bad or what.
I plan on taking it to the dealer on Saturday but I feel like a moron.

The car is 1 week old and they are the tires that came on it from the dealer--Potenza RE050A. I didn't even try the 4th tire.

I've the same tires and a Husky Air Scout from Home Depot and it works fine if the line pressure regulator is set high enough. What's the pressure in the tires you're trying to fill?

The pressure is standard coupe--35psi. I'll kick up the pressure on my compressor and try again. It's a Husky also; and again I've never had a problem with it.
Thanks.

I had a problem with this. 18000 miles on the tires. I left the air pressure to low and a sidewall broke. It would not inflate at all or even register a psi. Hope it's not that for you.

Turns out I had the pressure gauge too low. I've used it before on numerous vehicles/bikes and always turned the **** just higher than I wanted to inflate. For some reason I had to go like 20 over.
Thanks for the responses. I feel
