The center rib of the tire still had the little nubs left on it from the wiskers, the outer ribs did not, even at 50 psi the center rib was not seeing the same amount of wear as the outer ones, hmm....
I have gone through 148k miles worth of RE92's on my 2000 Insight. This is the CLASSIC wear pattern. All this time I thought it was the car, not the 50 psi. tire.
