The “60 characters” rule for title tags is folklore. Google truncates titles at about 600 pixels, and character count and pixel width are not the same number across fonts. A short title can still truncate if it is wide.
Enter a title tag and see its rendered pixel width and where Google would cut it off with an ellipsis. Trim the wide words first, keep the keyword in the front, and let the approximation end the guessing.
