My understanding is that bias tires had a significant center/edge wear vs pressure effect, but that radial tires have a much reduced correlation. My own measurements have borne this out (tread depth measured at 45psi which is 4 psi over sidewall shows linear wear outer center inner) a single tire is not much of a data set but does seem to fly in the face of the anecdote of over inflation causes center wear.
