I have 30,000 miles on my tires. They're inflated to above sidewall max. The tread is worn down to about half, and is completely even across the tire. There is no bulging out in the middle of the tread.

I saw the same on my van - 60,000 miles when I replaced the tires, and the tread was worn down evenly all the way across. Inflated at sidewall max pressure.

I think the LT part above is a significant part of why the tread bulged in the middle.
