It still happens though.
Even on radials.
I've just about evened out the wear pattern on my Volvo's tyres that way ... It'd wear the shoulders faster when on "recommended" pressure and a bit above, increased pressure (around 51psi) gave more center wear, for an overal even wear
The ride got bumpy around 50 psi on the Volvo wagon.
It gets bumpy around 44 on the little VW up! Ecofuel - and that's got 200 lbs / 100kg of CNG tanks over the rear axle compared to a normal up!
