I think the tire manufacturers try to find the best compromise between longevity and traction already. Bike tires will keep wearing more in the center, as you will never have the same amount of corner miles as you have straights.

Btw the reason to start with low pressure on track days, is to limit the pressure in the tire at the end of the run. It will go up once the tires are hot, up to around 1 bar rise, depending on circumstances.
