In my, and many others', experience, the center wear issue went away when steel belts came in. I have my tires inflated to high pressure, and the wear is dead even across.

I can confirm that low pressure wears the edges. I can also confirm that on my car, this includes 40 psi on 44-max tires, when the car calls for 32.
