This appears to not happen if they are run at normal pressures for a while (not long i hope) and then overinflated.
When i get my next tires i'll leave them at 35psi for the first week or so. Then i'll go the whole hog on them!
I know we mostly say there is no uneven wear but there may be cases where this is not the case. Anyway, they'd wear unevenly at the reccommended pressures too and that's not considered a problem is it??!!

I believe the last information I got from an AX club member was to street drive the new tires for 1,000 -2,000 miles before over inflating, so they don't have the issues with cord bedding.
That, of course, is based on their experience, and no real scientific testing.
