I'm running something like 60 PSI in my summer tires without uneven wear. But I've seen some tires wear out the centers quickly. The ones I've observed myself are Bridgestone Blizzaks. One set (175/70-13) was at the max pressure of 35 PSI. The other (185/70-14) was at 40 PSI (44 PSI max). On both sets, the centers wore out about twice as fast as the edges. I'm assuming the wear was related to pressure, but maybe Blizzaks always wear out the centers? My current Blizzaks (155/80-13) are wearing OK at 45 PSI (max 35). I'm assuming this is due to their narrow width.
