I measured a couple new sets when I got them and found they had deeper tread in the center when new. So in my own use I'm not aiming for even tread across the width. I do suspect that higher pressure won't cause (much) reduction in center tread depth.

Mine are rated 44 psi; I'm running them at 50. Still have deeper tread in the middle after about 25K miles put on the tires which I bought new.
