Good point.

Another point is that higher inflation pressures (up to max sidewall) increase the life of the tire so even if your centres wear out a bit faster (and I seriously doubt the would) you should still be ahead of the game. If in doubt, buy a good tread depth gauge and keep an eye on them.
I wouldn't discount it because its a truck tire, I'm running a mild AT on my pickup and they roll nicely, and run cooler than the tires that came with it. That and they don't blow up when I hit a rock on a rough road. (Cough Firestone cough cough.)

I have seen tires wear faster in the middle, but they didn't wear that much faster to where it caused a problem.
